Under Jay Hedberg’s leadership, Consor’s Construction Services’ Oregon team expanded to more than 50 members within five years of its inception. His ability to cultivate strong client relationships, particularly with the Oregon Department of Transportation, has contributed significantly to this growth and the team’s ability to take on larger, more complex projects.

Hedberg introduced bi-weekly meetings that have become a cornerstone of team success, offering a space for members to share knowledge, solve problems together and stay connected to overall goals. His focus on mutual respect has created a team-first mentality, where team members are motivated and well-equipped to tackle complex projects together.

In addition to fostering a collaborative culture, Hedberg has been a driving force behind process improvements, including documentation and project tracking. Each winter, he leads the team through a period of process refinement, using lessons learned from past projects to make tools and systems more user friendly and efficient.

Through his mentorship, Hedberg has helped junior inspectors and construction managers understand the intricacies of ODOT’s documentation standards, tracking systems and paynote practices. This not only has improved the quality of the team’s work, but also has empowered individuals to take on greater responsibilities within their roles.

As an active member of the Construction Management Association of America and a former member of the Associated General Contractors of America, Hedberg continuously seeks opportunities to engage with key players across the industry.
