Jake Landreneau is the Executive Vice President of Innovation + Technology at Juneau Construction Company. He graduated from the University of Florida with both bachelor’s and master’s degrees in construction management, a minor in historic preservation, and a focus in Building Information Modeling (BIM). Jake joined Juneau as a BIM Engineer and led several successful projects as a Project Manager before translating his passion and vision for innovation and technology to launch Juneau’s Virtual Design + Construction (VD+C) department nearly a decade ago. He has since scaled and elevated the department—now known as Innovation + Technology—into the team it is today, encompassing virtual design and construction, sustainability, business intelligence, technology management, and engineering services.
Q&A with Jake
If you could give one piece of advice to someone looking to enter the construction industry, what would it be?
Listen, absorb, and ask questions. Chances are, if you have a question, someone else does too.
What do you enjoy doing outside of your time at Juneau?
I enjoy working on my mobile tiny house, trail running, and traveling.
If you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would it be?
I would be in Northern Canada during the Winter, exploring the Arctic Circle with my mobile tiny house.
