Employee Spotlight: Pete Boysen

After 45 years with Black & Veatch, Project Construction Manager Pete Boysen is well-equipped for his responsibility of administering the Chimney Hollow contract on behalf of Northern Water. He oversees administration and quality assurance on the project, and his day-to-day tasks include reviewing submittals, requests for information, payment applications and requests for substitutions. He also manages the quality assurance staff.  

Boysen’s favorite part of the project is the “sheer size” of Chimney Hollow, and that it’s rare to work on a project of this magnitude.  

“This is a legacy project,” he said.  

Boysen also enjoys the variety of work that comes with a project management role. He is looking forward to the reservoir filling and said he’s excited about “seeing water go behind the dam. That’s what we’ve been working toward for the past five years.”
