Prairie Construction is proud to introduce Project Manager Jordan Bartels. Jordan is a graduate of the University of Nebraska College of Engineering with a Bachelor’s in Construction Engineering, and he joined the Prairie team in July 2022.

Prior to joining Prairie Construction, Jordan worked at a few local construction companies, gaining experience is estimating, scheduling, and project management. He developed an expertise in scheduling after training in various scheduling techniques.

“Planning and scheduling is vital in a project’s success, it is a great tool to communicate the successes and shortfalls of a project,” he said. “A schedule can indicate how a project is progressing. Without proper planning and scheduling a project cannot obtain its objectives in a timely and cost effective manner.”

We first met Jordan three years ago while working together at Creighton University on various projects. We recognized his skills as a scheduler, and his ability to coordinate between project managers and clients to keep project running efficiently and on time.  

“Jordan has been an excellent addition to the Prairie team,” said Matt Schuman. “He cares about our clients’ wants, needs, and project objectives, and he does everything he can to ensure our client’s goals are met, and they are pleased with the end product.”

Jordan was drawn to Prairie Construction because we are a smaller company that values a work-life balance while encouraging our employees’ growth.

“Working with Prairie at Creighton it was easy to tell that they take great pride in their work, and being experts in the field,” he said. “I also love their commitment to making our community better, I couldn’t be prouder working here and I hope I can add value to the Prairie Construction team!”

We think you have already added value to the Prairie team Jordan, and we are so happy you are part of our team!
