Heidelberg Materials today announced the appointment of Bill Fedorka, P.E., as Senior Vice President, Fly Ash, Southeast Region, effective July 1, 2025. He succeeds Jim Clayton, who is retiring after 20 years of dedicated service with the company.

“Jim's commitment to building a creative team focused on problem-solving and implementing strategic plans throughout the region has significantly shaped the fly ash industry,” said Scott Dickson, President, Southeast Region. “His values-driven leadership approach has inspired others and contributed to the company's long-term sustainability and success.”

Jim joined The SEFA Group, a predecessor of Heidelberg Materials, in 2005. He served as the Director of Utility Relations until 2011, when he assumed the role of Vice President of Operations. In 2015, he was promoted to Chief Operating Officer, overseeing all plant operations, SEFA Transportation, engineering and construction services, business development, safety, and environmental matters.

“It has been an honor to work alongside such a talented team,” said Clayton. “I’m proud of what we have accomplished together throughout the years and am excited to see Bill guide our fly ash business into its next phase of growth.”

Over the past two decades, Fedorka has held several key leadership positions at The SEFA Group and Heidelberg Materials, including Director of Engineering and Vice President of CCP Services. In his new role, he will provide technical and strategic direction for fly ash operations and initiatives, focusing on strategic growth, technological innovation, and operational excellence.

“I’m honored to take on this new role and continue building on the strong foundation we’ve established in the Southeast,” said Fedorka. “Our team is passionate about innovation and sustainability, and I look forward to driving forward-thinking solutions that benefit our customers, our communities, and the environment.”
