“These individuals are the reason Clune continues to thrive,” said Vince Gutekanst, President, Midwest Region of Clune Construction. “They lead with integrity, mentor the next generation, and uphold the high standards our clients rely on.

Peggy Newquist and Rachelle Mason are both based in Chicago but support Clune’s national operations. Newquist has led the expansion of Clune’s learning and development programs, including the firm’s professional skills series, “Next Up” leadership track, and onboarding initiatives. Mason leads Clune’s Trade Partner Prequalification Program and plays a critical role in corporate compliance, working across all offices to ensure consistency and client readiness.
Clune’s longstanding culture of promoting from within is foundational to its success. More than 20 percent of employees have been with the firm for over a decade, and many of Clune’s officers began their careers as interns, assistant superintendents, or project engineers. This approach has earned Clune national recognition as a Best Place to Work and a U.S. Best Managed Company by Deloitte.
