Olsen Named President of Superior Rigging

In January of this year, Superior Rigging & Erecting promoted Zach Olsen from chief operating officer to president.

He succeeds Patrick Lewis, who remains CEO and will continue to be fully engaged in the direction and leadership of the company.

Olsen joined Superior as COO in October 2023, after nearly 16 years of extensive engineering, management and leadership experience at Turner Construction Company, where he oversaw projects costing up to $200 million and employing more than 1,100 workers. 

During his career with Turner, Olsen, who holds a degree in civil engineering from Auburn University, served as field engineer and superintendent, cost engineer, business-development engineer, project engineer, project manager, senior project manager and manager of the Special Projects Division.

That broad and in-depth experience gives Olsen a clear understanding of the construction process as well as the big-picture vision needed to strategically plan for a company’s long-term success.

In the announcement of his promotion, Olsen thanked CEO Patrick Lewis and the generations who have helped build Superior Rigging & Erecting into the75-year success it has become.
