COO
As Chief Operating Officer of MATT Construction, Joe Healy brings over three and a half decades of experience in strategic oversight and project execution across Southern California. He has played a key role in some of MATT Construction’s most complex and high-profile projects, including the Robert E Coyle U.S. Courthouse in Fresno, the (W)rapper, The Broad Museum in downtown Los Angeles, and the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in Beverly Hills. His expertise spans private, federal, and international projects.
Joe began his career with a degree in engineering technology and initially worked for an electrical contractor on the Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit 2, a nuclear power plant in Pennsylvania. He later joined a general contractor in Atlanta and subsequently a national contractor, overseeing large-scale projects such as the Robert C. Byrd Federal Courthouse in West Virginia and the restoration of Atlantic City’s historic Boardwalk Hall—a multi-purpose arena and U.S. National Historic Landmark that has hosted concerts, sporting events, and the Miss America Pageant.
Joe joined MATT Construction in 2007. At MATT, he has overseen major projects such as the Phase 1 campus expansion at Westmont College in Montecito and the net-zero Conrad N. Hilton Foundation headquarters in Agoura Hills, a LEED Platinum-certified building featuring an innovative HVAC system that operates without fans. “It was more complex than a thirteenth-century cathedral,” Joe recalls.
His expertise also extends to international projects, including early site work, underground utilities, and retaining walls for a new Viceroy Hotel (now a Four Seasons Resort) in the Caribbean. Managing labor shortages on the island required recruiting workers from Mexico, securing permits, housing and feeding crews, and navigating governmental approvals.
