Carl Jarka leads the Dallas-Fort Worth location for Wurzel Builders. He’s known for his excellent OSHA safety record and straightforward, get-things-done approach. As the Director of Construction Operations, he maintains project quality and schedules for Wurzel projects in the DFW area, wrangling all field, design, and administrative issues that arise along the way.

Carl has always enjoyed the construction industry—it’s good, honest work, and it’s rewarding to see the completion of a project, to stand next to a satisfied owner knowing that he’s played a part in making the vision a reality. He began his construction career right out of high school, working as an electrical apprentice, utility pipe fitter, equipment operator, etc. and then studying the division 9 finish trades.

In 1999, he took a job as a project superintendent with Barry Wurzel, where he found he excels when providing leadership and taking ownership of a job well done. He’s built countless exciting projects, including the SH 130 toll and main lane plazas, the Bexar County Adult Probation Center in San Antonio, and the Heliport for San Antonio’s University Hospital.

These days, he’s swinging the hammer less and developing the business more as he works to extend Wurzel business into Dallas-Fort Worth. While he’s a one-man-show at the moment, the DFW office is positioned for success, and he’s looking to aggressively grow the office. He’s focused on the best possible customer experience and makes a point to never miss an end-date and to ensure that the client is happy with the work before they wrap it up.

Carl lives in Fort Worth, Texas. He’s an avid shooter and golfer who loves a great Saturday backyard BBQ and both college and pro football. He visits with his kids Leesa and Peyton as often as possible and recently became a granddad.
