Achieving at the Highest Level – Together

When you're young, ideal careers can involve travel and not being stuck behind a desk. For Drew, college athletics fortified a strong team mentality and an attention to detail that fit perfectly as an Electrical Engineer at Mortenson.

One thing I love about my role is the interactions I have with the craft electricians and subcontractors. They know their installation process and equipment best, and I learn from them to better understand the intricacies of equipment. They will speak with me on electrical issues that they find to hopefully find some answers to things that I have additional knowledge in. It’s rewarding to be able to help in that way.
