At Bollig Engineering, we live our purpose of being “Neighbors serving Neighbors”. We aim to strengthen , preserve, and transform the future and quality of life in our communities that we work and live in. Our employees are an integral part of the small cities and towns they live in and serve and we’re dedicated to enhancing the fabric of these communities in every way possible. You may have read about Kindra Carlson, Laura Ostlie, Don Broberg, and Angela Olson in Part 1 of “Neighbors Serving Neighbors”. Today, we invite you to learn about Jordan Odegard, Paul Jurek, and Dan Hanson.
Jordan Odegard – Project Engineer
Jordan grew up in the small town of Clarkfield, MN and was fortunate to have the Clarkfield Infrastructure improvements as one of his first major projects. “I really enjoyed working in a community that I was familiar with and being able to help them address their infrastructure needs. There was a lot of components to this project, and it was cool to see them all come together for a community that was very close to home.”
“Growing up in a smaller community, I understand the importance of helping others in need. Working with a community is no different. Small towns are very close knit and passionate about their communities. There are a lot of small towns that have failing infrastructure with no way to pay for it. Therefore, I feel the need to help so they can prosper for years to come.”

Paul Jurek – Senior Engineer
Paul takes part in Knights of Columbus, Willmar 100 Yard Club, and the Eagles and the Elks in Willmar. Paul enjoys learning about small cities and the people who live in them. “I like to meet people and understand how their cities work. Each city has its own story with the past, present and future. It is interesting and fun to get to know them.”
When asked what project he’s most proud of, Paul said, “I really enjoy working on the ‘downtown’ projects that deal with the city challenges and limited budgets… Brooten, Lake Lillian and South Haven are some of the downtown projects that I have worked on… it’s been great to help make their downtown look great again and fulfill their needs.”

Dan Hanson – Project Manager
Dan’s leadership extends outside of Bollig to his Tae Kwon Do students! He has been a Martial Arts and Self Defense Instructor in Willmar for 34 years. He knows the value of being involved in small towns. “A small town is where I grew up. I lived in Raymond, Minnesota until the age of 20. Small towns allow for a sense of knowing your neighbors well and having a sense of belonging.”
Dan is also proud of the work that Bollig has done for the water and sewer main project in Barrett, MN. “This project affected every street in town. Everything is fresh and new after completion. The city and staff of Barrett were exceptional to work with.”
