Greenville, South Carolina-based Mavin Construction is not simply building structures — they are building an organization designed to scale with intent.
With a portfolio that spans healthcare campuses, houses of worship, university facilities, and international airports, Mavin is quietly assembling one of the most deliberate talent pipelines in the Upstate.
The evidence is in the numbers: 10 promotions, five newly created roles, and nine new team members — all in a single season of expansion.
But the story is better understood through the people behind those figures.
A cornerstone promotion
At the center of Mavin’s talent story is Lindsay Koeper, who has been promoted from Senior Project Manager to Director of Construction.
Koeper brings 15 years of industry experience along with bachelor’s and master’s degrees in civil engineering — both earned at Clemson University — plus an MBA.
Koeper was instrumental in establishing Mavin’s healthcare studio, a dedicated line of business serving clients that include AnMed and Prisma Health, that demands a rare combination of clinical sensitivity, regulatory fluency, and construction precision.
She remains focused on deepening and expanding the healthcare studio — positioning Mavin as a specialist, not simply a generalist, in one of the most demanding sectors of the built environment.
“We’re all about building depth and leadership to support our growing portfolio of projects,” says DJ Doherty, partner, Mavin Construction.
Koeper’s trajectory at Mavin is emblematic of the company’s broader philosophy: identify talent, invest in it deliberately, and create the conditions for people to rise into roles that did not exist until they were ready to fill them.
A team in motion
Koeper’s promotion is one thread in a larger tapestry of organizational investment. Across disciplines — construction, engineering, technology, project management, marketing, and customer service — Mavin has added expertise at every level, reinforcing an internal culture where advancement is expected, not exception.
The projects driving this expansion reflect the company’s reach. From the Earle Street Baptist Church and Fellowship Greenville campuses to Furman University and Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport, Mavin’s footprint now spans some of the region’s most visible and technically demanding builds.
The Mavin Way
The Mavin WayInvesting in people is not a strategy at Mavin, it is a founding value. To ensure that value is embedded consistently across an organization now operating from offices in Greenville, South Carolina, and Kingsport, Tennessee, Mavin has brought on a Director of Marketing, Mary Beth Thomas.
Thomas arrives with over 15 years of experience, and her hire reflects a recognition that as Mavin’s project portfolio deepens, the story of who Mavin is, and how they build, deserves to be told with the same care applied to the buildings themselves.
The vision
“We have always believed that the best buildings come from the best relationships. Watching this team grow, in their craft and in their leadership, is exactly what Mavin is built to do,” says Todd Malo, partner, Mavin Construction.
For Mavin Construction, the buildings they deliver are a reflection of the team behind them. As that team deepens, so does the confidence that the work ahead will be their best yet.
