BEAUFORT, S.C. (Sept. 23, 2024) – Raul Dominguez, who has an extensive background in professional services, construction and engineering, has been hired as the City of Beaufort’s director of the Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
Dominguez, a Beaufort resident, will begin his position on Sept. 30. His most recent position was as the manager of daily operations for the Indigo Run Community Owners Association (Town of Hilton Head Island), where he supervised a staff of three, and was in changes of facilities, roadways, landscaping, stormwater management, budgeting, purchasing, and contract management.
“We feel fortunate that Raul is joining our team. His expertise, familiarity with local industry partners and professionalism are the perfect combination to lead our Capital Projects at a time when we have several complex projects underway and pending,” said City Manager Scott Marshall.
“I’m excited about joining the team in Beaufort,” Dominguez said. “I plan to get caught up quickly, and, with the team, get the Capital Improvement Program in strong shape.”
As director of the Capital Improvement Program, Dominguez will oversee a team from various departments (Finance, Public Works, Downtown Operations) that meets on a regular basis to track progress on the projects.
He will be formalizing the Capital Improvement Program, putting into place best practices as Beaufort seeks to structure its capital projects process more rigorously. He will lead the project lifecycle from conception to completion.
Dominguez will engage with members of the public and the various neighborhoods – in the future, the CIP will require much more resident engagement for external projects.
He will work with Carrie Gorsuch, project support coordinator, on contracting, budgets, schedules, work plans, and cost estimates.
Before his tenure at Indigo Run, Dominguez managed operations at Port Royal Plantation, and was property manager at High Tide Associates. He was also a logistics warehouse manager for the U.S. Marine Corps. He served 12 years with the Marines and received the Navy Achievement Medal.
