How will you succeed?

Day-to-day job responsibilities are one thing. Even more important? Approaching those responsibilities with a mindset and attitude that align with Mortenson culture and the values of our team:

• Master the inclusive and interpersonal: practice well-developed communication skills with the ability to clearly articulate messages to a variety of audiences using various modalities. Effective communication includes an openness to diverse input and feedback including actively seeking out perspectives different from your own.

• Be an expert with a growth mindset: Knowledge of theories, principles, methods, and techniques relevant to the fields of leadership, organizational and talent development. More importantly, live life as a learner – be more concerned with what you don’t know than letting everyone know what you do know and be a champion of continuous improvement.
• Simplify the complex: have a strategic mindset that sees connections between otherwise disparate activities, projects, initiatives, and messages.
• Maintain optimism in the face of ambiguity: You will join a team tasked with leading brand-new-to-the-organization mindsets, approaches, programs, and events. Ambiguity is the one thing that is certain, so resilience is a must.

Simultaneously manage a variety of projects in a fast-paced environment, while remaining flexible and positive.
