Michael Barnes has joined The Highland Group team as the Project Manager for their Huntsville office. The Highland Group is a construction firm with offices in Huntsville, AL, Foley, AL and Panama City Beach, FL offering construction management, design-build and general contracting services to clients throughout the Southeastern United States.

Barnes’ pivotal role with the company will be maintaining the overall project coordination as well as managing owner relations and leading the growth of The Highland Group’s footprint in North Alabama. He currently is managing the Renovations for the Alabama Veterans Museum and Archives in Athens, Alabama and will soon begin the project for the Renovations at the VBC Propst Arena.

Barnes has almost a decade of experience in the construction field and received his bachelor’s in building science from Auburn University and also serves as a member of the Associated Builders & Contractors North Alabama Chapter.

Barnes has now been with Highland for a short four months, but his impact has already been extraordinary.

“We are more than ecstatic to have Michael join the team. We know that Huntsville is a growing and vibrant city, and Michael will bring the knowledge and regional commitment.”
