Patrick Cusson

Since joining DPR in 2007, Patrick Cusson has built a career defined by technical excellence, deep customer commitment, and a passion for shaping environments that advance healthcare, life sciences and next‑generation technology. As Boston’s Business Unit Leader, Patrick has played a central role in building a resilient, customer‑driven business that is now recognized for tackling highly complex, mission‑critical work throughout the region. 

A graduate of Wentworth Institute of Technology, Patrick discovered his love of building early, framing houses in high school before moving into increasingly complex project delivery across the life sciences and healthcare core markets. Patrick has contributed to and led some of the region’s most notable technical projects, including large‑scale cGMP manufacturing facilities and occupied healthcare renovations, such as the Devens Cell Therapy Facility and CT Children’s New Clinical Tower. In 2016, he returned home to Boston to help lead DPR’s expansion in New England. 

Known for rallying teams around a solution‑oriented mindset, Patrick thrives on helping customers navigate technical challenges while empowering project teams to deliver exceptional results. Every day brings new opportunities to problem solve, build trust, and reinforce a culture where people can do their best work. 

Beyond project execution, Patrick is committed to growing teams, developing talent, and building long‑term customer relationships rooted in transparency and reliability. He brings a calm, thoughtful leadership presence, strong technical acumen, and a collaborative spirit to every challenge.

When he’s not in the field or supporting teams, Patrick can be found anywhere with a beach view, spending time outdoors, or exploring new experiences with his family.

• Favorite DPR Core Value: Enjoyment. If we can’t have fun doing what we love and working with our great teams, then we are doing something wrong.
• What You Love About Construction: The ability to see a product being built, and, more so, the types of clients and projects we are building. Our customers are truly shaping the future of healthcare, technology and lifesaving medicines.
• First Job: House framer in high school
• Desired Superpower: The ability to fly to take me places and see things I would otherwise never have the chance to see and experience.
• Your Hero: If I must single out someone, probably my grandmother. She has been through a lot in 90+ years and still carries a smile every day.
• Best Vacation Spot: Anywhere on a beach
• Favorite Subject in School: Science. As a child it was the subject of discovery through experimentation and later on it became the subject of reason.
