Employee Spotlight

Get to Know John Dubowski, Construction Superintendent – SW App

John’s career started in civil engineering and construction 27 years ago. He’s planned and analyzed a variety of worksites and projects throughout his tenure, the last six years spent at Expand Energy. Beyond his day job, he coaches his local middle school track team.

How would you describe your job to a neighbor?
My team’s main duty is to build and maintain the lease roads and pads. We also upgrade and repair the public haul routes to our locations and reclaim impoundments for our water team. To put it simply, we move dirt and get things done.

What’s the most rewarding part of your job?
I am rewarded by working on projects from cradle to grave. I am involved in the design, construction, maintenance and reclamation of our locations.  

I’m really proud of the work we’ve done on some of our most recent pad construction projects. I was a consulting civil engineer that assisted with designing the pad and then transitioned to be a permanent construction superintendent that got to build the site. That was a rare career opportunity that helped me learn a lot about projects of that scale.

What does success look like for you and your team?
Success for my team means being a reliable support system for the other teams. We measure our success by how seamlessly we enable their work, ensuring roads are passable and project sites remain stable. Our goal is to never be a bottleneck. It’s especially important to us that rural roads are not only maintained but upgraded, so they’re in equal or better condition than when we began using them.

What do you do when you’re not at work?
When I am not at work, I am a middle school track coach. I was happy to have coached both my son and daughter. I also enjoy taking our boat on the lake and wakeboarding in the summer. In the winter, I enjoy skiing with my family.  

In the Community – Celebrating Our First Anniversary

Expand Energy marked our first anniversary in October with a series of community service projects and celebrations across the company. From packing meals at food banks to picking up litter, employees came together to show what Expand for Good means in action. Each celebration was a reminder that our company’s success is because of our people and the communities we call home.

Highlights of these celebrations and our other community work include:

• Collecting Coats to Prepare for Winter Needs: SW App employees hosted a coat drive to support a local Coats4Kids drive through the Salvation Army. Hundreds of coats were gathered and donated to West Virginia kids ahead of cold fall and winter months to ensure our community has the resources it needs. 
• Celebrating Art with the Symphony Concert Series: This summer, Expand Energy helped bring the sound of celebration to communities across West Virginia as a sponsor of the Wheeling Symphony Orchestra’s Celebrate America! concert tour. Free, family-oriented performances were held throughout SW App — ending with an Independence Day show at Heritage Port with thousands in attendance. The tour honored both America’s independence and the resilience of West Virginians recovering from recent floods.
• Feeding Families through Intern Special Event: During SW App’s intern week, our summer interns, their mentors and fellow employees teamed up to support the Ohio County Family Resource Network (FRN). Along with a $5,000 company donation to help address local food and energy insecurity, volunteers spent the afternoon restocking the FRN’s food pantry. The team also refilled four community “Blessing Boxes,” helping ensure neighbors in need had access to shelf-stable goods and essentials.
