As we begin a season filled with holidays and celebrations, I’m reflecting on the many blessings that I have personally and that JE Dunn has had throughout our first 100 years as a company. The heart of JE Dunn’s success and legacy lies in our people, so I want to extend my gratitude to each of you during Founding Month. What you bring to the table as a unique individual helps strengthen the entire company.
This year, I feel immense pride for the work we’ve accomplished with our teams and trade partners nationwide. In addition to celebrating JE Dunn’s Centennial, we have done incredible work solidifying the foundation that Mr. Dunn and so many others helped cement, preparing our company for the next 100 years of building authentic partnerships.
Thank you for everything you do for our clients, trade partners, the community, JE Dunn, and each other. Your commitment to our KSIs and Guiding Principles drives our company’s success in projects and community impact. And regardless of your role or tenure at JE Dunn, each one of you makes a difference and ensures we have the Best People + Right Culture. I am grateful to work alongside you.

JE Dunn Construction was founded by John Ernest “Ernie” Dunn, a man who epitomized commitment, service, and sacrifice. Although not a veteran himself, Ernie renegotiated a major government contract during World War II to forgo profits beyond labor and materials for a quartermaster depot, driven by his deep sense of duty and his sons, Bill and Ernie Jr., who were serving overseas. This spirit of supporting veterans is deeply ingrained in JE Dunn’s history. Bill Dunn Sr. continued this legacy by actively seeking out fellow veterans and sharing sea stories from his days in the Navy in the JE Dunn café. Mr. Dunn fostered camaraderie among veteran employees. His personal connections and dedication helped build a supportive community within the company.
Throughout our 26 JE Dunn offices, building, giving, and people are at the heart of what we do. Click below to see more of the great things happening throughout our regions.
