Hurst serves as a key procurement lead within the W071 Endist Omaha office under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing complex construction and civil engineering acquisitions critical to national defense infrastructure. He oversees the planning, solicitation, and award of contracts supporting the sustainment and modernization of military installations, with a focus on hardened facilities for nuclear deterrence systems, utility corridors, and base readiness enhancements. His acquisitions align with the Army’s strategic imperative to maintain operational resilience across the continental U.S. defense footprint, ensuring compliance with federal construction standards and mission-critical timelines. Hurst maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including JOHN BOWMAN, INC., PAF ELECTRICAL, INC., HENDRICKSON TRANSPORTATION LLC, PERINI MANAGEMENT SERVICES, INC., and WASHINGTON EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURING COMPANY, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced firms with proven expertise in heavy civil works, commercial building construction, and specialized military-grade infrastructure.
