Safety means more at Mortenson.

Your Safety Leader

Safety is the foundation for everything we do. We are dedicated to fostering an environment where there is care and concern for people, engaging craft and leadership in the planning and execution of safe work, and holding ourselves and each other accountable to our obligations so we can send people home to their loved ones at the end of the day. Our Zero Injuries culture represents our commitment to an injury free environment and the endless possibilities in our aspiration to continuously improve.

Through the pursuit, design, pre-project/pre-task planning, and execution of the work on our projects, our team members keep safety as one of our core values. When you add this 24/7 safety mentality to the ‘Culture of Care’ and ‘Family’ culture we have strived to develop and see on our projects, every team member returns home safely.
