PREMIER Design + Build Group has promoted Artie Trautmann to general superintendent, touting it as a move that deepens its field leadership and accelerates its growth across the Northeast industrial market.
The Morristown-based team said that, in his new role, Trautmann will oversee field operations and project execution throughout the firm’s Northeast division. He’ll do so while drawing on a career-long record of field excellence, collaborative project delivery and commitment to job site safety, PREMIER said, citing his experience with challenging industrial, multifamily, mixed-use and infrastructure projects such as the World Trade Center site redevelopment, Madison Square Garden and the Second Avenue Subway, among others.
The firm added that Trautmann has earned a reputation for building strong teams, taking a solutions-based approach to successful project delivery and fostering a culture of accountability and mentorship in the field.
“Artie exemplifies the professionalism, accountability and commitment to excellence which define PREMIER,” said Jason Hart, an executive vice president with the national design-build construction firm. “PREMIER has a long and successful history of building in the Northeast, and Artie’s stewardship of our project execution is a tremendous addition to support our continued growth and exceptional service to our clients.”
Throughout his career, Trautmann has successfully managed complex brownfield and remediation sites, extensive ground improvements and large-scale concrete operations, according to a news release. He was recognized across the national organization in 2025 as the inaugural recipient of PREMIER’s Guardian: Excellence in Safety Award, honoring his proactive leadership and commitment to protecting every person on job sites.
“Artie’s dedication to mentoring and ability to deliver certainty of outcome for our clients results in success and makes him the ideal person to lead our field operations in the Northeast,” said Fred Castelbuono, vice president of field operations. “Artie has outstanding judgment and has an exceptional knowledge of the construction craft.”
