Jered is responsible for guiding the firm's innovation strategy, including new service line development, technologies, and new ways to expand the firm's offerings to clients. He also oversees the winning work functions within the firm (marketing, business development, client experience, and strategic consulting) to support our consulting operations in growing the firm’s client base.
Jered began his career with another firm in Denver, where he primarily focused on private sector land development. Joining Olsson nearly 23 years ago, Jered was a design engineer and project manager in the Land Development (Site/Civil) practice. He opened an office in Minneapolis to lead growth of the firm’s largest client at the time. Jered was later named an Omaha team leader and led efforts to grow the local team and support growth of the Omaha office.
In 2007, Jered was named one of the firm's first practice group leaders, tasked with leading the Land Development practice. In 2016, he created Olsson's Business Development function to lead growth of key clients. Building on that growth, he was tasked with leading the firm’s program strategy, which included oversight of the telecom, power delivery, data center, federal, and rail markets. With the recent re-org, Jered will no longer provide direct oversight of the programs, but instead focus on innovation and sales.
Jered currently resides in Lincoln with his wife Jamie and their five children. Jered holds degrees in both civil engineering and natural resources and environmental sciences from Kansas State University.
