Construction companies are increasingly incorporating environmental performance and community engagement into their corporate operations. Sundt Construction has expanded its leadership structure in these areas by promoting Emily Dwosh to senior manager of community impact and sustainability.
Based in Phoenix, Dwosh will direct the general contractor's community engagement and sustainability strategy. Her responsibilities also include managing charitable contributions and volunteer initiatives through the Sundt Foundation, connecting employee expertise with community projects and supporting responsible business practices.
Dwosh will oversee Sundt's sustainability program, which includes tracking the company's environmental footprint and identifying opportunities to reduce its impact. The program also involves encouraging employee participation in sustainable practices, assisting project teams and improving environmental reporting.
Her expanded position builds on initiatives developed during her first three years at Sundt. These efforts include increasing practical volunteer opportunities that use employees' construction skills and improving fundraising activities and impact reporting for the Sundt Foundation.
Before joining Sundt in 2023, Dwosh led community development at Desert Financial Credit Union and managed corporate fundraising for Valley of the Sun United Way. She brings more than a decade of experience in philanthropy, sustainability and corporate social impact.
Dwosh holds a bachelor's degree in public policy, a Master of Public Administration and a graduate certificate in sustainability from Arizona State University. She also holds a Corporate Citizenship Management certificate from the Boston College Center for Corporate Citizenship.
Her industry involvement includes membership in the Association of Corporate Citizenship Professionals and participation in U.S. Green Building Council activities in Arizona. She serves on the planning committee for the organization's Arizona Transformation Forum and has participated as a speaker in its Women in Green programming.
Sundt's expanded sustainability and community leadership role brings charitable giving, employee volunteerism and environmental performance under a coordinated management structure. For construction businesses, these functions connect workforce participation and community investment with broader corporate sustainability objectives.
The approach also highlights the role of employee expertise in community programs, particularly when construction professionals contribute technical and skilled-trade capabilities to local initiatives.
