Ever since he was a young boy working on construction projects with his dad in Minot, North Dakota, Jordan Geiger has enjoyed seeing projects progress from the planning phase to completion. His interest turned into a career in the structural engineering field.
After graduating from the University of North Dakota with B.S in Civil Engineering and Master of Structural Engineering degrees, Jordan joined AE2S as a Structural Engineer in 2012. He’s now the firm’s Structural Practice Leader and is a licensed Professional Engineer in North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Montana, Idaho, and Colorado.
“At AE2S I get to touch on all different project types that a Structural Engineer could be involved with. I have worked on the design of everything from a small wooden building to large wastewater treatment facilities, for both public and private clients,” he says. “I like the unique projects that I have the opportunity to work on at AE2S. Our projects help better the communities in which they’re built. I really enjoy being presented with problems and finding solutions.”
One of Jordan’s top projects over the course of his career is the design and construction of the Williston Water Resource Recovery Facility. “Pretty early in my career, I was able to be the primary engineer along with drafting the project drawings. Additionally, my favorite material is cast-in-place concrete of which that project had lots of,” says Jordan.
Currently, AE2S is working on the design of a wastewater treatment plant expansion for Owatonna, Minnesota. Jordan says he’s enjoying the project’s unique challenges related to expanding the facility while maintaining treatment operations during construction.
Jordan is the current President of the North Dakota Society of Professional Engineers, Chapter 3. He’s also a member of the American Concrete Institute. When he’s not working or volunteering his time with industry organizations, Jordan enjoys elk hunting and walleye fishing. “My summertime is spent at our family cabin on Lake Sakakawea, and I find plenty of excuses to make trips to the mountains in the fall,” he says with a smile.
