LEED Green Associate
Jackson is a Senior Project Engineer best known for his natural sociability and ability to boost jobsite morale. He remains positive and resilient when faced with challenges and believes that division of labor does not mean a relief of responsibility. With a strong team–first mindset, he understands the collective effort required to deliver successful projects, which is why he enjoys starting his days early on the jobsite and staying engaged with his team throughout the day. Outside of work, Jackson is an energetic outdoorsman who spends his time in the mountains or on the water. He enjoys biking, hiking, surfing, snowboarding, skiing, running, and fishing, and is a former student–athlete who played lacrosse at the University of Washington and with Seattle–area teams. He is also an FAA–certified Unmanned Aircraft Pilot and enjoys flying his drone to capture aerial jobsite photos.

Joaquin Aburto
General Foreman
Joaquin approaches each day on the jobsite with a people-first attitude, emphasizing the importance of a collaborative team culture in finding efficient solutions and creating a learning environment for everyone. One of his favorite aspects of construction is that he leaves each workday having learned something new from his teammates.

Melanie Cochrun
Director of Marketing+Communications
CPSM
A healthy dose of serendipity led Melanie from the Peace Corps third world to the A/E/C integrated world, where she discovered a love for working with the people behind the concrete. Nearly 20 years later, she is contributing and receiving ideas and inspiration for marketing, communicating, and developing business as the Director of Marketing + Communications at GLY! A self-described thinker, linker, and obstacle shrinker, Melanie likes to approach her work with these three questions: Who is our audience? What do they need? How can we reach them and develop trust?
