HRG has conducted a strategic succession planning initiative and is pleased to announce several leadership promotions and organizational changes.  Effective January 1, 2019, Jason A.

In addition, Grubic will continue to support the company’s clients and participate in all phases of project development.  Grubic has been with HRG for 45 years and has served as President & CEO for the past 29 years.  Based in Harrisburg, HRG has expanded to strategic locations throughout Pennsylvania and West Virginia under Grubic’s leadership.

HRG’s leadership team will also include the newly created position, Chief Operating Officer, which will be filled by Andrew M.

Brian Emberg, P.E., who has served the company for 30 years, will continue as Senior Vice President, a position he has held for the last seven years.  In his role, Brian will focus on strategic business development and client engagement.

“During his career, Brian has amassed vast and diverse experience through the successful delivery of hundreds of infrastructure projects, enabling him to forge strong relationships with HRG clients and business partners,” according to Grubic.

In addition, HRG has also elevated marketing to a higher level in the organization to reflect its integral role throughout the company and in accomplishing short- and long-term goals.  Corporate marketing, led by Ryan A. Albright, will report directly to the president.

Finally, Bruce A. Yerger will continue as chief financial officer and vice president of administration, a position he has held for the last ten years.

The company’s succession plan is comprised completely of internal employees who have a long history with the company, which Grubic attributes to the quality and strength of the HRG team and its commitment to developing and promoting from within the organization.

In addition, members of the leadership team, including Grubic, Fralick, Kenworthy and Emberg, will continue to serve clients as they have in the past.

“HRG is embarking on an exciting future under Jason Fralick and our leadership team.  We are committed to ensuring our vision, mission and core values remain unchanged as HRG continues to deliver quality, cost-effective design solutions for our diverse public and private sector clients,” said Grubic.
