Sundt Construction

Most Admired Company: 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016

Top Arizona executive: Mike Hoover, president

What it does: Construction services.

Admirable quality: Sundt’s donation to the East Valley Institute of Technology in Arizona and sponsorship of Arizona Construction Career Days enabled its employee-owners to connect with high school students who are considering construction careers. Getting recent graduates into the business is critical; the average craft worker is in his or her late 40s. Sundt also works with school districts to construct career and technical education centers that offer high schoolers the chance to get a head start on a trades career.
