Adam Tinucci, Sky Blue Builders' (SBB) project superintendent, oversees the field operations for the Level 4 Hotel and Transit Center (HTC) Buildout, which includes DEN’s Center of Equity and Excellence in Aviation (CEEA) – a training center that will help create a pipeline of aviation talent.
After graduating in 2020 with a degree in Mechanical Engineering from Gonzaga University — one of the highest-regarded engineering schools in the country — SBB saw Adam’s potential and offered him a job.
The Littleton native embraced his opportunity at SBB and dove into work at DEN in the summer 2020. This marks the entirety of his professional journey, which has been dedicated to the Great Hall Program. His innovative outlook, passion and forward-looking mindset have led to ongoing growth and invaluable contributions acknowledged by his colleagues at DEN.
In collaboration with Hensel Phelps (HP), the prime contractor for the Great Hall Program, Adam learned their systems and processes through a two-year staff augmentation program, while also contributing to SBB projects at the beginning of his professional career. As he became more familiar with and solidified his role on the Great Hall Program, Adam eventually managed the buildout of the new curbside escalators on both sides of the terminal near the United and Southwest Airlines check-in areas.
All of Adam’s hard work has led to his current role as SBB project superintendent, overseeing the CEEA field operations. Each day, Adam works with subcontractors, ownership teams, design teams and controlling parties to ensure progress, address issues and maintain the schedule.
“Working on the CEEA project is an amazing opportunity that allows me to contribute to building a future for career pathways in aviation, directly impacting those who don’t typically have the same opportunities to enter this industry,” Adam said. “CEEA is a socially responsible addition to the Great Hall Program, positively creating a more equitable future for various stakeholders in the aviation industry.”
Adam’s advice to individuals aiming to advance their construction careers is to prioritize education, pursue new training opportunities and maintain a strong work ethic. When Adam is not excelling with SBB and DEN, he seizes every opportunity to travel to new destinations, immersing himself in diverse cultures alongside his girlfriend. He also enjoys spending time outdoors, whether it’s skiing, hiking or camping — a genuine Coloradan through and through.
