JD Harris

CEO

JD Harris serves as Chief Executive Officer. His responsibilities include the oversight of all operations across the Plainfield, IN, and Mt. Sterling, KY offices and the five operating divisions. JD and his wife, Dee, founded JDH Contracting, Inc in 1995.

Though JDH has grown exponentially since its founding, now with more than 200 employees, JD still invests personally in each and every employee, taking a personal interest in their professional and personal development. JD formed JDH to not only provide excavation services to the growing cellular tower industry, but also general excavation services including water and sewer installation, erosion control, and general grading. Realizing the need for a full-service construction provider, he quickly positioned the organization to provide a full range of tower erection, modification, and decommissioning services. He also led JDH’s entry into the fiber optic construction field, including a full range of splicing, mapping, engineering, and placement services. An entrepreneur at heart, JD again expanded the JDH portfolio in 2014 by adding vertical drilling to the already expansive menu of services. This has allowed JDH to partner with a growing number of electric power, civil, and commercial construction entities. JD’s vision has produced an extremely successful and well respected business operation.

With a hands -on management style and an extreme attention to detail, Scott ensures that all projects are progressing according to schedule and within budget and corporate regulations. He joined JDH in 1999.

Previously, Scott worked with a large regional grocery chain where, due to his attention to detail, he quickly rose through the ranks to become a specialist in audit and inventory control for the company’s retail stores and warehousing. This 10 year experience, primarily as an inventory control manager, created situations where details, controls, and problem solving were everyday occurrences. Scott was also responsible for implementing the roll out of a new, real-time inventory control system in the company warehouses.
