Elmira construction firm names general superintendent

ELMIRA, N.Y. — Streeter Associates announced it has promoted Kevin Burnett to general superintendent. 

In this role, he will oversee on-site supervision and manpower for all active projects at Streeter Associates. Burnett is succeeding Ken Brenza, who recently retired, according to a company news release.

Burnett began his construction career as a carpentry and masonry specialist in the U.S. Army. Upon completing his service, he became a carpenter in the private commercial construction industry and joined the Carpenter’s Local 277 union. 

Streeter Associates, an Elmira–based commercial construction firm, hired Burnett in 1998 as a carpenter foreman. In the following years, he worked on a number of manufacturing, K-12 school, and higher-education projects before being promoted to project superintendent in 2012.

“Kevin will use his 35 years of construction experience and energy to his new role at the company” Jeffrey Streeter, president of Streeter Associates, said. “He is dedicated to the industry and has the leadership skills to help our employees prosper.”

Streeter Associates has operated in the Southern Tier of New York state and the Northern Tier of Pennsylvania since 1949. The firm offers construction management, pre-construction, and general-contracting services to both public and private entities. Streeter Associates says it has expertise in a number of different market sectors including health care, education, manufacturing, and municipal infrastructure. The company is currently working on major projects at Cornell University, the Chemung County wastewater treatment facility, and Elmira City School District.             ν
