Mark Schmidt
[VICE PRESIDENT, PRECONSTRUCTION]
Successful project execution is founded on clearly defined mutual goals developed by the project stakeholders. These goals are best attained through purposeful and detailed planning.
I'm here to help you with new business acquisition and project scope development in Advanced Manufacturing. With a knack for collaboration, I work closely with customers, design teams, and all project stakeholders to ensure that value engineering, value analysis, planning, estimating, and scheduling activities are top-notch during the proposal and preconstruction phases of a project.
With 39 years at Mortenson, I bring a wealth of experience, having successfully delivered projects across multiple market segments throughout the U.S. I am particularly skilled in progressive design-build and EPC project delivery methods
Leadership through Planning
Great leadership starts with great planning. At Mortenson, we believe in delivering the highest value to our customers, construction partners, and team members throughout the project lifecycle. Thoughtful and proactive planning is key, so it is critical we use our extensive experience to mentor all project participants in great planning skills.
Expertise in Data Management
We're redefining the industry through the purposeful daily capture of huge quantities of project information. Leveraging this data with the latest tools and technology enhances project performance and real-time decision-making. Our customizable data reporting systems allow customers and project partners to easily understand project metrics, manage resources efficiently, and achieve success within their own organizations. This commitment to data management ensures an exceptional project experience.
A Culture Based on Leadership
While we are doing amazing things to leverage technology and redefine what’s possible, our greatest impact comes from intentional leadership development. Our team members are engaged problem-solvers ready to make a difference—for our customers, our community, and one another. Better leaders lead to better projects, and ultimately, a better world.
MORTENSON MOMENT
As one of the early leaders at Mortenson in delivering projects using Design-Build, I've had the privilege of mentoring many of our current leaders in innovative project delivery. I still embrace these methods with our customers, A/E partners, and trade partners, creating added value for all project stakeholders.
