Name: Joseph Smith

Job Title: Senior Superintendent, Team Leader

Years at HBW: 9 Years

Total years experience: 43 Years


What excites you most about the work you do?

The abundant amount of training I have access to, helps me become a better Superintendent and better perform my duties. Taking something that’s torn down, beaten and battered, and making it brand new for someone to enjoy!

What do you like best about working at HBW?

I enjoy the endless amounts of resources to help you through your projects, along with the abundance of knowledge the other Superintendents, Project Managers, and Project Coordinators have to share that you can always reach out to if needed. At HBW, you’re not on an island. The Superintendent and the Project Managers work as a team.

What’s your favorite project you’ve worked on so far?

I have several! Argon Plaza at 12701 Fair Lakes Circle, Fairfax, VA 22033, and Ballston Exchange located at 4121 & 4201 Wilson Blvd, Arlington VA, 22203.

What do you like to do in your spare time?

Spending time with my Wife and family, laughing or making others laugh, coaching/playing Basketball, fishing, and dusting off my tools to remodel, and maintain my house and property. Being around water (A stream, lake, river, or ocean) as long as it’s moving.

Anything else you think prospective employees should know about HBW?

It feels like family being here. Not only do they support you throughout your scope of work, but they have also been there through personal loss.  HBW will accept you, train you, and help develop you to be a better Superintendent, with much more experience and knowledge! Once you’ve learned it – the knowledge is all yours to add to the good that HBW has seen in you from the start!
