Robert King

Local 1309 Coordinator

I began my career in the construction industry in 2012 as an apprentice Laborer with LiUNA! Local 507. I completed my apprenticeship while working for Accurate Concrete Sawing, where I specialized in concrete and asphalt saw cutting and demolition. After four years, I joined G&F Concrete Cutting Inc., continuing as a Journeyman Laborer. While working full-time, I pursued a post-baccalaureate certificate in Construction Project Management through Louisiana State University Online. In 2019, I was promoted to Superintendent, and during the COVID-19 pandemic, I stepped into the role of Operations Manager to support G&F’s growing client needs. As Operations Manager and later Project Manager, I developed internal systems and policies that modernized company operations and strengthened contractor relationships across California. I managed a wide range of high-impact projects while mentoring field staff and enhancing team performance. Driven by my passion for leadership and growth, I returned to school and earned a Master of Science in Construction Project Management from Arizona State University in December 2023, all while working full-time.
