energy and I’m excited to be part of the team that is starting a
new chapter for our business.”

Brian Cahill, President, California
Division
A 30-year construction industry veteran, Brain Cahill began his
career with the company in 1993 as a project superintendent. In the
years since, his passion, commitment to the business and strong
leadership skills allowed him to quickly climb the ranks within the
organization. In 2012, Cahill was promoted to division president of
the company’s Southwest Division, overseeing operations throughout
Southern California and Arizona.
In 2014, Cahill was named a “Top Influential” by the San Diego
Daily Transcript in acknowledgement of his leadership, dedication
to the company’s Zero Harm safety culture, and continuous
commitment and support of the communities where he builds. The
publication also ranks Balfour Beatty Construction as San Diego's
largest general contractor. In 2015, Cahill was named president of
the California Division.
In San Diego, Cahill is actively involved in initiatives and
endeavors that have a positive impact in the construction industry,
as well as in the community. He played a key role in coordinating
the effort for Balfour Beatty Construction and its mission-aligned
trade contractors to construct the 65,000-square-foot Ronald
McDonald House of San Diego for the Ronald McDonald House Charities
of San Diego at-cost – saving the charity millions of dollars. In
addition, is a board member of Junior Achievement (JA) of San Diego
and Imperial County, and has championed employee recruitment and
fund-raising efforts resulting in more than $250,000 raised for the
non-profit over the last 10 years.
Cahill has earned a strong reputation as a leader who believes
people are a company’s greatest asset. “A people-first mentality is
the key to our success,” said Cahill. “We are committed to
investing in our teams so we can provide them with state-of-the-art
industry tools, training and development. Our employees not only
make our client’s dreams come to life, they are fulfilling their
own dreams during the process. Whether it be supporting a cause in
the community where they are building, or implementing a key time
or money saving innovation, they are playing a critical role in our
success.”
A Certified Construction Manager and a LEED AP, Cahill holds a
degree in Aviation Science from San Diego Mesa College, and served
over five years as a U.S. Navy Deep Sea Diver.
