Holland Construction celebrates 3 executive-level promotions
Holland Construction Services is proud to announce 3 executive-level promotions, reinforcing the company’s long-term commitment to building with integrity, both for our clients and our team, through professional growth, operational excellence, building strong relationships.
Kurt Steinmann has been named Vice President of Holland’s Residential business unit. Steinmann brings over 27 years of industry experience in design-build, preconstruction, and field operations, including a strong portfolio of residential, student housing, senior living, and historic renovation projects nationwide. In his new role, he will lead Holland’s Residential business unit, overseeing business development, client strategy, and operational execution for one of the firm’s fastest-growing market sectors.
Since joining Holland three years ago, Steinmann has served as a Project Executive on several high-profile residential developments, including The Emerald Apartments in Knoxville, TN and The Marshall in St. Louis, MO. Prior to Holland, he held leadership roles at ARCO National Construction and HBD Construction, where he was instrumental in building national housing platforms and client relationships.
“Kurt’s depth of experience and steady leadership style have been a tremendous asset to our team,” said Holland Executive Vice President Doug Weber. “He understands how to deliver complex projects while maintaining the high level of service and integrity our clients expect.”
Steinmann holds a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from Missouri University of Science and Technology, where he also serves as a member of the Career Development Council and is active on the Sigma Pi housing board. He is a licensed contractor in both Nevada and Tennessee and an active member of the Missouri Health Care Association and LeadingAge Missouri.
Ryan Savage has been named Vice President of Client Relations. In this newly expanded role, Ryan will continue to lead Holland’s Education and Municipal Business Units, which have seen substantial growth under his leadership. In addition, he will take on a more strategic role in guiding the company’s approach to client engagement, ensuring that Holland continues to exceed expectations and deliver value to partners across all markets.
In his nearly 20 years at Holland, Savage has played an integral role in shaping the company’s trajectory. His leadership of the Education and Municipal sectors has resulted in some of the firm’s most successful projects and longstanding client relationships. These efforts contributed directly to Holland being named one of St. Louis’ “Fast 50” companies and the 3rd largest general contractor by revenue in 2023, according to the St. Louis Business Journal.
“Ryan’s commitment to building trust and understanding what clients truly need has been a huge part of our success,” said Doug Weber, Executive Vice President of Holland Construction Services. “His ability to engage with the community and deliver on promises has allowed him to build long-lasting relationships and has helped set Holland apart as a trusted leader in the industry. This promotion is a direct reflection of his outstanding contributions to the company.”
In his new role, Ryan will continue to lead the Education and Municipal market teams and further shape the client experience by aligning internal teams with a consistent strategic approach to pursuits across all business units.
Savage holds a Bachelor of Science in Construction Management from Southern Illinois University- Edwardsville. Ryan remains dedicated to giving back. He spearheaded Holland’s “Project BUILT” initiative—an innovative workforce development program that introduces local students to the construction industry through real-world, hands-on learning on K-12 job sites. He also volunteers and serves on the board of Camp Ondessonk, a youth camp in Southern Illinois, where he helped establish a scholarship fund for students to attend the camp’s Outdoor Education Program.
Rob Ruehl has been named Vice President of Operations and brings over 25 years of construction experience, including the last eight with Holland. Previously serving as Project Manager and Project Executive, Ruehl will oversee operations across Holland’s growing portfolio, ensuring consistent execution, team development, and alignment with the company’s strategic goals.
Throughout his career at Holland, Ruehl has led major residential and senior living projects such as The Edwin on Grand, a 343,000 SF mixed-use development in St. Louis, and Flats at Wildhorse Village, a 266-unit apartment complex in Chesterfield, MO. His experience also spans senior living, healthcare, higher education, and retail, with a keen understanding of both preconstruction planning and field operations.
“Rob has been a trusted leader on our team since he’s started with Holland,” said Holland President Mike Marchal. “His ability to elevate everyone around him makes this role a natural next step in his journey with us.”
Ruehl holds a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering with a focus in Construction Management from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Prior to Holland, he held management roles with Brinkmann Constructors, Columbia College- Chicago, and W.E. O’Neil Construction.
