NELSON FERREIRA

Nelson is an exceptional visionary who embarked on his first business endeavor in 1988 with the inception of Ferreira Construction. Taking what he learned, he decided to expand his capabilities and diversify his portfolio to include American Pile and Foundation (APF). APF has transformed from a start-up company in 2013 to one of today’s premier pile driving and drilling contractors throughout the Northeast. Nelson oversees the day-to-day operations at APF and works closely with his senior management, safety, estimating, payroll, and equipment maintenance teams to ensure APF is working safely and effectively on each of its projects. As a minority business owner, Nelson embraces the uniqueness of all the employees and takes pride in having a diversified workforce. He knows firsthand about overcoming barriers and serves as a great example that there is no limit to the success one can achieve. He continues to build APF through a proven track record with its projects, achieving this by swift attention to the smallest of details in the context of broad project goals and objectives. He believes APF’s strength is in its unwavering commitment to excellence and in the belief, that the company is responsible to the communities in which we live and work.
