Today, we’re celebrating 15 years with our VP of Construction, Kajsa Jungaro, and chatting with her about what drew her to Dowbuilt in the first place. “When I came to Dowbuilt 15 years ago, I wanted to push myself beyond the Pacific Northwest and Washington State. I wanted to learn more about building and construction management in different regions and not settle for the familiar. I loved Jim Dow’s ambition to build incredible architecture, so it was a natural fit. “To date, I’ve managed projects in Washington, New York, and California, which has kept things exciting. We now build in 16 states, so I’ve had to become an expert on construction law, lien releases, and contractual requirements in all those areas.” What’s kept you at Dowbuilt? “I’m lucky to work with amazing people and super-talented builders. I’ve never looked at other opportunities because I know how good I have it at Dowbuilt. Many of our supers and principals have been the best comrades and teachers. They have taught me so much about constructability and boosted my confidence with their support. Our work is inspired, challenging, and highly demanding, but that’s where we thrive as builders.” What is your day-to-day life like at Dowbuilt? “Today, one of the best parts of my job is mentoring younger members in my division. I work with our estimating, field, project management, safety, and scheduling teams, guiding them on proactive planning, risk mitigation, course correction, and high-quality craft delivery. This commitment to developing the next generation of builders is a key part of my role and one that I find incredibly fulfilling.” Kajsa was among the first women on the build side of our business. She inspires us all with her endless talent (she’s also an incredible skier and pianist), and many women at Dowbuilt still remark, “I want to be like Kajsa when I grow up!” Thank you for 15 incredible years, Kajsa! #dowbuilt #dowbuilt_people #dowbuilt_careers #dowbuilt_culture #WIC #dowbuilt_wic #construction #constructioncareers #womeninconstruction

Today, we are celebrating ten years with the talented Jim Sangster, our shop manager. Known for his cabinetmaking skills and supportive leadership, Jim has profoundly impacted everyone he works with at Dowbuilt. Jim's calm nature stands out, especially during stressful times. He prioritizes camaraderie, kindness, and work/life balance, consistently lifting those around him. Colleagues know they can rely on him for support and feel seen and understood when they do. Despite his understated demeanor, Jim is a big deal in our shop and the Seattle music scene. His passion for music enriches the workplace, and he shares his vibrant life outside work with all his colleagues, friends, and clients. Jim's dedication to craft and service is evident in everything he does. Enthusiastic and charismatic, he brings a great sense of humor and fun to the Dowbuilt shop. His team describes him as "compassionate, personable, and crazy skilled," and we think he's a rockstar in every sense of the word. Thank you for ten remarkable years, Jim! We can't wait for more beautiful millwork and music! #dowbuilt #dowbuilt_shop #dowbuilt_people #dowbuilt_careers #employeeappreciation #workanniversary #workmilestone
