Jason Riley, Northeast Division manager for Maine Drilling & Blasting in the Gardiner and Auburn, New Hampshire, offices, has been elected president of the New Hampshire Good Roads Association. He was elected at the New Hampshire Good Roads Association’s annual meeting April 6 at the Grappone Conference Center in Concord, New Hampshire.

Riley joined Maine Drilling & Blasting in 1994. Early in his career he served in a number of operational capacities advancing his knowledge of the drilling and blasting business. When the company reorganized its Central Construction Division in New Hampshire in 2004, he was the logical choice given his experience in leading teams through times of change. In 2021, the company consolidated its operations in Maine and New Hampshire to promote greater efficiency and cultural alignment. He serves as the manager for the Northeast Division, according to a news release from association.

He is active in several industry and professional organizations including the Associated General Contractors of New Hampshire and the New Hampshire Good Roads Association, where he most recently served as a director, treasurer and as vice president. He also serves on the organization’s Workforce Development Committee. He served for eight years in the United States Army and attended Northeastern University and the University of Massachusetts at Lowell where he studied construction management.

The New Hampshire Good Roads Association is a statewide nonprofit association founded in 1904 to represent individuals and businesses involved in the state’s infrastructure.
