TEMPE, Ariz. (July 13, 2020) – The Sundt Companies, parent company of Tempe-based general contractor Sundt Construction, has added Tom Sorley to its Board of Directors. Sorley retired as chief executive officer from Rosendin Electric in December 2019 and currently serves as the company’s executive chairman.

Sorley has more than 40 years of industry experience, 31 of which were spent with Rosendin Electric. After being named president of the company in 1992, he led it to become one of the nation’s largest electrical contractors.
“I am honored to be selected as a board member for Sundt, a company that has long held ‘people first’ as one of its guiding principles,” said Sorley. “Sundt’s history is built on mutual respect, inclusion, empowerment and trust.”
Sorley has served on various industry and community boards including the National Academy of Construction, Design-Build Institute of America, Lean Construction Institute, San Francisco Bay Area Council and The Beavers, a heavy engineering construction association.
