Balfour Beatty has named Bob Kiger its new vice president of operations.

Kiger will oversee the company’s Nashville office and manage current relationships, pursue other strategic clients, including health care companies, and strategic project pursuits in Middle Tennessee.

"Bob’s health care experience, in addition to strong ties in Nashville, will be of great value to our operations there," said Charles DeVoe, division president for Balfour Beatty Construction in the South Central Region. "Bob’s focus will immediately be on growing our health care presence in the region, while also pursuing new markets which build on national strengths in our company portfolio."

Kiger spent 11 years with the company from 1995 to 2006.
