Brian on what makes Dowbuilt a great place to work: 

"Coming from being self-employed, I really appreciate the great support system at Dowbuilt. From principals and PMs to our foremen and administrative teams, the team is great and allows me to concentrate on the details of a build. I mean, it’s really amazing. When I was thinking about switching over to a new company I had this perception that Dowbuilt was a huge company where I would just be another number. I ended up listening to an old colleague and gave them a shot. After just my first interview I was pleasantly surprised to find that Dowbuilt felt like a small company, felt like family. Over my time here I’ve felt very valued. Dowbuilt recognizes and embraces talent and encourages us to build and spread that knowledge. As someone actively training our field team, it gives me great pleasure to share everything I’ve learned over my decades in the industry - why I do things, why I’ve learned not to do them other ways. Craftsmanship can often feel like a dying art but Dowbuilt knows this skill is at the heart of what we do and really fosters it."
