DPR Construction has appointed Matthew Thrower as business unit leader for its Arizona operations, a leadership change that positions the contractor to support continued growth in one of the country's most active construction markets. The appointment places Thrower in charge of business operations, customer engagement, and project delivery across the state.
In his new role, Thrower will direct DPR Construction's Arizona business, overseeing customer relationships, operational performance, and project teams.
Thrower joined DPR's Arizona operation in 2018 and has held leadership positions spanning business strategy, project execution, and talent development. His experience includes supporting operational performance while helping develop construction teams across the region.
The leadership transition comes as Arizona continues to experience strong demand for projects across multiple market sectors.
DPR Construction has worked in Arizona for more than three decades, delivering projects in healthcare, advanced technology, higher education, and commercial construction.
The company said its Arizona operations also maintain community engagement efforts through volunteer initiatives and grants provided by the DPR Foundation.
Arizona remains one of the nation's fastest-growing construction markets, with sustained investment in healthcare, semiconductor manufacturing, education, and commercial development. Leadership appointments at major contractors reflect the need to manage expanding project pipelines, strengthen client relationships, and support workforce development as project activity continues across the state.
