Christine Mortenson
Christine’s love of construction developed when she was young; helping her dad and uncle. Together, they built everything from garages, sheds and homes for their families.
She started her construction career at a commercial plumbing company in Broomfield, CO. She held various roles including office manager, project coordinator, and project manager/estimator. As her career progressed, she developed and implemented full- scale residential service and commercial tenant improvement divisions.
As her knowledge of the construction industry continued, she worked for a specialty low-voltage contractor that installed Nurse-call, life safety, security and A/V systems throughout the Rocky Mountain region. Working closely with executive management, she oversaw company-wide HR programs such payroll, training, compensation plans, performance, safety/OSHA compliance, Federal EEO/OFCCP, Workers’ Compensation, business compliance and fleet management. Her current role, Human Resources Manager, at GH Phipps Construction Companies has allowed her to grow her career and passion for construction even further. Christine is heavily involved with the GH Phipps outreach program and works with organizations state-wide.
Her professional association with the City and County of Denver, Construction Careers Program, Denver Economic Development Opportunity, AGC of Colorado, outreach with MWBE contractors, HCC events, and Construction Girl allows her to focus on promoting the trades as a career path for today’s youth. The involvement she has with these organizations keep her excited to be in the ever changing and growing construction industry!
She currently is the Co-Chair for the Women of Phipps and is on the Customer Experience Certificate Program Advisory Board at University of Colorado, Leeds School of Business.
