PHOENIX, AZ, UNITED STATES, October 16, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Knipp Contracting is excited to announce the appointment of Ray Gonzalez as the new National General Manager. With an impressive career spanning years in production building, beginning as a Purchasing Agent in Sacramento, Ray brings a wealth of experience from both public and private sectors to this pivotal role. His deep understanding of the construction industry and passion for Build-to-Rent (BTR) makes him a key asset to Knipp Contracting as they continue to scale their business nationwide.

In his role as National General Manager, Ray will be responsible for managing all aspects of the business, including profit and loss, new business development, and operational execution in the field.
