Kevin Shields

Vice President, Jacksonville Market

“My favorite part of construction is getting to know the people that use the buildings we construct. At Foresight, our projects are so much more than profits or losses. Each project represents individuals and families whose lives we have made a lasting impact on by bettering their communities with our work.”

Kevin Shields serves as Vice President for the Jacksonville Market at Foresight Construction Group, where he leads and oversees business development, operations, strategic planning, personnel management, risk mitigation, community engagement, and all phases of pre-construction and construction within the region.

Originally from Ohio, Kevin developed a strong interest in how things work from an early age—an interest that naturally evolved into a passion for the built environment. After relocating to Jacksonville with his wife, he earned a B.S. in Building Construction Management from the University of North Florida, graduating summa cum laude and receiving the Industry Leader Award for his class.

Kevin brings both technical expertise and a relationship-centered leadership style to his work. He is an active member of several professional and community organizations, including the Associated Builders & Contractors (ABC) – Florida First Coast Chapter, Urban Land Institute (ULI) – North Florida Chapter, Florida Healthcare Engineering Association (FHEA) – District II, American Society for Health Care Engineering (ASHE), and First Coast Manufacturers Association (FCMA). He also serves on the board of Charis Eating Disorder Care, a local nonprofit dedicated to community support and outreach.

Outside of the office, Kevin enjoys fishing, camping, and model railroading, and treasures time spent with his wife and their four children near Jacksonville’s sunny coast. He is guided by a strong belief in the power of meaningful relationships and professional integrity to drive impactful, lasting results.
