A graduate of the University of Pittsburgh, Nave joined Bancroft Construction in 1993 as a project manager. His vast experience in all phases of the building construction process in multiple markets and his admirable leadership skills enabled him to successfully coordinate the implementation, planning, scheduling, and direction of projects from the development of project scope through completion. Nave was invited to lead the company’s Industrial Division of Operations in 2006 and, subsequently, the company’s entire Operations division as vice president in 2008. During this time, he has guided the operations staff of team Bancroft through incredible growth in overall revenue, the diversity of market sectors, and the complexity of our construction capabilities. The projects Nave has been involved with are too numerous to mention but will be revered for generations.
