From there, he advanced through several roles across construction and utility sectors, including Regional Safety Advisor, Lead Safety Advisor, Field Operations Manager, and ultimately Director. Throughout his tenure, Jordan has been instrumental in scaling SMG’s presence and influence across the utility industry, applying innovative processes and cultural transformation strategies that have since been adopted by utilities nationwide.

He most recently completed the Executive Program through Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business. He is also a certified OSHA 10- and 30-hour instructor for the construction industry. 

A committed community leader, Jordan is actively engaged in several professional associations, including the American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP), the Coalition for Construction Safety (CCS), the Utility Safety & Ops Leadership Network (USOLN), Junior Achievement (JA), and Kids’ Chance. He is a professional member of ASSP’s Central Indiana Chapter, where he has served as Vice President, Student Section Liaison, Chapter Delegate, and Golf Outing Chair. He founded the Future Safety Leaders Scholarship Golf Outing, which has funded more than 25 scholarships for students pursuing careers in safety, and was named ASSP’s 2020 Safety Professional of the Year.
