October 28, 2025 M. A. Mortenson Company Recognizes Sturgeon Electric Team with Star Award in Safety
Colorado Construction C&I team nominated for being an “outstanding partner in safety”
One of Sturgeon Electric’s Colorado commercial construction teams was recently honored by M.A. Mortenson Company, its customer, for being an “outstanding partner in safety.”
The Adams County Midway project team was recognized in October with a Mortenson Star Award for Best in Safety. The project, which is part of larger Riverdale Regional Park improvements, involves rebuilding the medium voltage loop, installing site lighting, three utility yards and telecom/data/security infrastructure. Riverdale Regional Park hosts the annual Adams County fair among other community events.
Leaders of Mortenson’s project team nominated the Sturgeon Electric team composed of Project Manager Nate Silva, General Foreman Eduardo Escobedo, Foremen Braden Bloom and Josh Loeffler, Project Engineer Levi Tapia, Journeyman Wireman Bowdon Brumbleow, and apprentices Caden Miles, Axel Parra, Daniel Casillas, and Jorge Ortiz.
The nomination letter said, “Sturgeon Electric has consistently demonstrated a strong commitment to safety, showing up to our projects with practices that align seamlessly with Mortenson’s standards and culture. Their active participation and professionalism on the job site set them apart as a true leader in safety.”
“In addition, Sturgeon Electric has been a dedicated participant in the Mortenson hazard recognition program, consistently following internal processes while meeting and exceeding Mortenson’s requirements. Their unwavering commitment to ensuring that every team member goes home healthy and safe makes Sturgeon Electric an outstanding partner in safety,” the nomination letter continued.
Team Leaders Receive Award in Private Meeting
Mortenson presented the 2025 Best in Safety Star award to the leaders of the project team on October 2, at the project site.
Silva, Escobedo, Tapia, as well as Senior Project Manager J.D. Chenoweth and District Manager Norberto Cruz all attended the private award ceremony.
“As a team working for a company that prides itself in safety, an award that recognizes that we are going above and beyond other subcontractors that Mortenson works with is an immense honor,” Silva said.
Mortenson presents its annual Star Awards in eight categories to acknowledge and recognize the contributions of their subcontracting partners.
Kudos to the entire Midway Project team for earning this distinguished safety award.
