Jeremiah Foertsch

Jeremiah Foertsch brings 20 years of power industry experience spanning field operations, utility work, leadership and business development. As Senior Business Development Manager with Mortenson’s Power Delivery Solutions team, his understanding of how power delivery projects are planned and built shapes the way he works with customers.

He began his career through a four-year apprenticeship program, working for contractors on transmission, substation and distribution projects across the country. Along the way, Jeremiah worked with a wide range of utilities and gained exposure to different approaches to building and maintaining power infrastructure. He later spent 10 years with Xcel Energy in a variety of field, substation and supervisor roles. Jeremiah also holds a Bachelor of Arts degree and Project Management Professional (PMP) certification and is affiliated with IBEW Local 160.  

Since joining Mortenson in 2022, he has applied that background to business development for Power Delivery Solutions. Jeremiah works with customers including American Electric Power (AEP) and Electric Transmission Texas (ETT), supporting their portfolios and helping advance power delivery opportunities through early conversations and planning. For Jeremiah, one of the most rewarding parts of working with customers is getting involved early and helping them envision what a project could look like from the start. His time in the field and experience working alongside utilities bring practical construction knowledge to those conversations. He helps customers understand how a project could be approached and built, connecting early planning with the realities of construction and providing a clearer picture of the path forward. 

Outside of work, Jeremiah enjoys golf, running, reading and traveling. As a dad of three, he spends plenty of time cheering on his kids at baseball games and his daughters’ dance recitals and competitions. He also enjoys experiencing new cities through their local food and restaurants.
