Steve Grandfield has been promoted to chief operating officer of Arkansas-based Lexicon Inc.
Grandfield has served in several management positions, most recently serving as president of Prospect Steel, a role he will hold until he assumes the role of COO. Working out of the company’s headquarters in Little Rock, he will oversee the company’s daily operations, review the efficiency of current business functions and collaborate with executive management to set and meet business objectives.
“As a longtime Lexicon employee, Steve’s strengths of patience, organizational awareness, relationship building and scheduling position him to step into this new role and drive our culture of success,” CEO Patrick Schueck said. “Steve will strengthen our processes and procedures, and take our operational execution to new levels of excellence.”
In his nearly 20 years of service since joining Prospect Steel, Grandfield has been part of numerous key projects, including the Tenaris Seamless Pipe Mill in Bay City, Texas and the Shreveport Convention Center in Shreveport. Before joining the company, he served as a structural engineer at SEMF Holdings Consulting Engineers and Pitt & Sherry Consulting Engineers in Australia.
