One of the most respected building and civil construction firms in the United States. With more than 4,400 employees and annual revenues exceeding $6 billion, the company delivers major commercial, infrastructure, and institutional projects across the country. At the helm, Moser brings a direct, steady leadership style that values execution, trust, and long-term impact.

Moser holds a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering from Virginia Tech and completed the Executive Program at the University of Virginia Darden School of Business. His training in engineering and management laid the foundation for a career that has remained rooted in the construction sector.

Before becoming CEO, he worked across multiple roles at Clark, gaining a comprehensive view of the company’s operations and culture.

He was appointed CEO of Clark Construction Group in 2016. Since then, he has focused on improving internal systems, developing talent from within, and expanding the company’s national presence while maintaining strong relationships with clients and public partners.

Leading Large-Scale Projects

Under Moser’s leadership, Clark has delivered some of the country’s most visible and technically complex projects. These include the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C., the Chase Centre in San Francisco, the Inova Schar Cancer Institute in Virginia, and the new terminal at Kansas City International Airport.

Clark’s project portfolio also includes Amazon HQ2’s Metropolitan Park in Arlington, the LACMA expansion in Los Angeles, and large-scale infrastructure efforts like the SR-91 Corridor Improvement and the Virginia Avenue Tunnel in Washington, D.C. Each project reflects the firm’s capacity to manage scale, deadlines, and design complexity.

Approach to Business

Moser runs Clark with a focus on accountability and performance. He emphasizes safety, quality control, and strong execution across all teams. He also supports a culture of problem-solving, where people closest to the work are trusted to make decisions. That approach has helped Clark remain one of the most dependable names in construction.

He is known for pushing Clark to adopt advanced building technologies and practices that improve long-term outcomes. These include the use of Building Information Modelling (BIM), sustainable construction materials, and more efficient project delivery models.

Supporting People and Partnerships

Moser’s leadership extends beyond internal operations. He has strengthened Clark’s commitment to developing diverse supplier networks, especially through programs like the Strategic Partnership Program (SPP), which supports small, minority-, and women-owned businesses. On every major project, Clark sets clear goals for inclusive participation, typically at least 15%, and works closely with local partners to meet or exceed that target.

Clark’s workplace culture, shaped in large part by Moser’s management style, values development and retention. He supports leadership programs, field training, and ongoing education, and places a strong emphasis on safety and well-being. Employee reviews consistently highlight a high level of internal opportunity and a leadership team that listens.

Community and Industry Involvement

Outside of day-to-day business, Moser remains involved in professional and community organizations. He serves on the boards of the Greater Washington Partnership, the Potomac School, and the Virginia Tech Alumni Association. He’s also contributed to organizations such as the Alexandria Seaport Foundation and the Virginia Tech Foundation.

His involvement reflects a belief that industry leaders should remain connected to education, workforce development, and regional planning efforts, especially in regions where Clark plays a long-term role.

Leadership Reputation

Inside the company, Moser is known as a consistent and grounded leader. He avoids unnecessary attention but maintains high visibility with teams across all levels. He is also closely involved in project milestones and client discussions. His decision-making reflects a strong sense of what works in practice, not just in principle.

In external assessments, he is often recognized for keeping Clark stable and focused, even in periods of market change. He holds a CEO rating of 72 out of 100 on Comparably, based on peer and employee reviews.

Moving Forward

Clark continues to expand its reach under Moser’s leadership, delivering both vertical and horizontal infrastructure projects in markets nationwide. From airports and hospitals to education and transportation facilities, the company’s pipeline reflects the trust it has built with private clients and public agencies alike.

Moser’s challenge is to maintain that level of delivery while also preparing the company for shifts in labour, technology, and sustainability. So far, his track record shows a clear understanding of how to scale without losing control.

He doesn’t talk much about vision or legacy. But through consistent execution and clear priorities, Robby Moser is shaping both projects one at a time.
