Suffolk Strengthens Advanced Manufacturing Leadership and Texas Presence With Hiring of Chris Guice

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Suffolk, one of the most innovative and successful builders in the country, today announced the hiring of Chris Guice as General Manager of Advanced Manufacturing. Based in Dallas, Mr. Guice will help lead Suffolk’s continued expansion into advanced manufacturing sectors, including semiconductors, electric vehicle and battery production, robotics, solar, precision manufacturing and other highly technical facilities across the United States. He will also support Suffolk’s continued growth across Texas.

Mr. Guice brings 25 years of construction and business development experience with Austin Commercial, where he most recently served as Senior Vice President of Marketing and Business Development. Over the course of his career, he has supported projects across semiconductors, healthcare, aviation, higher education and commercial real estate. His semiconductor experience spans wafer fabrication, advanced node manufacturing, analog chip plants, optical chip manufacturing and research and development environments. He also brings extensive relationships across the Dallas/Fort Worth commercial real estate market, including Granite Properties, KDC, Stream Realty and Trammell Crow Company.

“Advanced manufacturing clients need builders who understand the technical complexity behind these facilities,” said Pat Lucey, President of Suffolk Northeast and National Centers of Excellence. “Chris brings deep experience across the semiconductor ecosystem, along with longstanding relationships in Texas, that will help us continue scaling this platform while strengthening Suffolk’s presence throughout the region.”

The strategic hire comes as companies continue to invest in domestic semiconductor production, supply chain resilience and highly technical facilities that require speed, precision and certainty. Suffolk’s Advanced Manufacturing group is designed to meet those needs by bringing technical planning to the areas that matter most in advanced manufacturing environments, including detailed digital twins, process piping, high-purity systems, commissioning, test and balance, cleanroom layout, tool installation and work within active environments where production and existing tools must remain online.

“What attracted me to Suffolk is the company’s willingness to invest in the people, technology and planning capabilities these projects require,” said Mr. Guice. “Clients in this sector and region are looking for partners who can think ahead, solve problems early and understand the technical coordination required for these facilities. Suffolk’s national platform, technology-forward approach and collaborative culture create a strong foundation to help clients bring greater certainty to schedule, cost and delivery.”

Suffolk’s Dallas/Fort Worth diverse project portfolio includes Children’s Health Specialty Center at RedBird, The Galbraith, The Terminal at Katy Trail, the Dallas County Mesquite Government Center and significant work at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, where the company is managing renovations to DFW Terminal C and construction of an all-electric Central Utility Plant (eCUP).
