Nieves is currently the project engineer/superintendent on an interior fit-out project for Brown Rudnick LLP in the Times Square district to upgrade its existing tenant-occupied space and build a new amenities area for their employees. His responsibilities include budget management, tracking and mitigating cost exposures resulting from changes in the field, internal, high-level budget reporting to ensure financial projections are achieved, project schedule, coordination of logistics and trade partners; and client relations.
He was featured in both Turner Construction’s employee spotlight for Hispanic Heritage Month and as a community and citizenship volunteer in 2022.

Since joining, he has facilitated the platform’s continued growth and its internal and external expansion. Cada Comunidad continues to reinforce Turner’s multicultural workplace through emphasis on genuine conversations, intentionality, community, awareness, and advocacy. Nieves has helped lead the board in executing more than 15 initiatives in 2022, and eight initiatives in 2023.
