As Director of Quality, Jeff leads Pankow Builders’ quality program with a focus on consistency, accountability, and construction excellence across every phase of work. With deep field experience and a collaborative mindset, he partners closely with project teams to embed quality planning, proactive inspections, and continuous improvement into daily operations.

Jeff previously served as an Inspector of Record (IOR) on hospital construction projects. That experience shaped a disciplined, detail-oriented approach grounded in compliance and performance expectations. He focuses on definable features of work that directly impact building performance and occupant safety—waterproofing, fire and acoustic ratings, and precise structural and architectural alignments. He also strengthens project coordination through effective VDC execution. Inquisitive by nature, Jeff is committed to expanding the team’s understanding of construction, mentoring others, and building a lasting tradition of learning.
