As part of the expansion of its portfolio and offerings, Shawmut Design and Construction has hired Daniel Dumke as senior director in the West region, positioning the firm to aggressively expand market share in Los Angeles and Orange County.
Dumke brings 40 years of industry experience to his role and will leverage his extensive portfolio of major, complex projects throughout California to drive the firm’s market share of increasingly larger projects across sectors. With previous roles as vice president, general manager, and California district lead at other major construction firms, he is fluent in preconstruction, design-build, and ground-up construction operations, bringing experienced best practices to the role. Dumke is an active member of the Associated General Contractors of California, having served on the Orange County and Los Angeles Board of Directors, and is currently a member of the State Construction Education Foundation Board.
“As we grow our average project size and break into new sectors, we need a very specific skillset including executional excellence, strong leadership, and business acumen,” said Greg Skalaski, executive vice president of Shawmut’s West region. “Dan’s portfolio of major projects for the top higher education institutions and advanced technology facilities, coupled with his experience leading divisions and operations, made him a natural fit for this role.”
Dumke’s appointment comes on the heels of continued market expansion across diverse sectors for Shawmut in Los Angeles and beyond, focused particularly on growing its education, ground-up commercial and life sciences sectors. From 2021 to 2022, Shawmut’s West region revenue is slated to grow 104% for education, 94% for commercial and 46% for life sciences.
