The Grand Forks-based magazine Prairie Business recently recognized Ulteig's Jordan Guck as one of its "40 Under 40" for 2020.
Guck has been employed as a licensed professional engineer at Ulteig's Detroit Lakes office since August of 2015. He leads a team responsible for planning, design, and construction of power substations. For his team, Guck oversees strategic direction, leadership, and technical services; resource planning; and professional development. His job also includes maintaining and developing positive relationships with existing and potential clients. In addition, Guck is involved in several company-wide initiatives and is a key member of the committee that drives Ulteig’s highly engaged employee-ownership culture.
Guck served as the design lead engineer for a recent complex expansion and rehabilitation of a power substation that was congested and plagued with deteriorating foundations. The significant challenge was to keep power uninterrupted while foundations were replaced. Jordan presented on the remarkable success of this project at the 2019 Minnesota Power Systems Conference, and the project was also selected for a 2020 American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) Honor Award for Minnesota.
Guck currently resides near Perham with his wife, Donna, and four children. They enjoy hunting, fishing and everything outdoors.
