About Jeff Ocker

Jeff is a cornerstone of Sussex Development, having been part of the team since 1990. His journey began with a focus on carpentry at Virginia Beach VoTech during high school, followed by successful completion of an apprenticeship program sponsored by the Association of General Contractors. Through dedication and hard work, Jeff rose through the ranks to become a Senior Project Superintendent.

With a hands-on approach to field activities, Jeff’s expertise spans various construction areas. His ability to visualize contract drawings and foresee the construction process enables him to adeptly identify and solve challenges, making him a valuable asset to the team. Jeff’s extensive experience has made him one of our most esteemed Project Superintendents, serving as a mentor to our younger field staff.

Throughout his tenure, Jeff has overseen multiple notable projects, including those for the YMCA of South Hampton Roads, College of the Albemarle Aviation Training Center, and the Widgeon Professional Center, which houses Sussex Development’s corporate office.

Outside of work, Jeff can be found at Sandbridge Beach or Buxton, NC surf fishing or hanging out at Cape Woods Campground.
