Mark Stene Promoted to General Superintendent

We are pleased to announce the promotion of Mark Stene to General Superintendent. With more than 23 years of construction industry experience, including 16 years with Morcon, Stene brings extensive field expertise, strong leadership, and a collaborative approach to his expanded role.

Throughout his career at Morcon, Stene has played a key role in delivering some of the firm’s most complex and high-profile projects, particularly at Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport (MSP). With more than 13 years of experience managing construction at MSP, his work includes major terminal expansions, baggage handling system improvements, and projects requiring intricate logistics, careful coordination, and minimal disruption to ongoing airport operations.

“Mark has earned the respect of our team through his leadership, positive attitude, and ability to confidently navigate complex construction challenges,” said Tony Peterson, President of Morcon Construction. “He has a tremendous understanding of the construction process and knows how to bring people together to get the job done. We’re excited to see him share that experience across our field operations, helping develop our superintendents and supporting the continued success of our projects.”

In his new role, Stene will provide leadership and coordination across Morcon’s field operations, supporting project teams and mentoring superintendents throughout the organization. His extensive knowledge of commercial construction, ability to collaborate across trades, and practical approach to problem-solving will help strengthen consistency, communication, and field execution across the firm’s projects.

For Stene, effective leadership starts long before construction begins. “You need to learn to build the project in your head before you actually start a task,” Stene said. “That helps you anticipate challenges and make sure your team has the materials and equipment they need to be successful.”

Stene credits much of his professional growth to the challenges and accomplishments of working on complex airport projects. Looking ahead, he’s eager to apply that experience more broadly while building relationships with employees across the company. “I’m looking forward to being involved with all of Morcon’s projects and getting to work with employees beyond my own jobsites,” Stene said. “I want to provide as much support as I can to our field staff and help them succeed.”

Outside of work, Stene stays busy supporting his daughters’ school activities and sporting events. When time allows, he enjoys fall hunting trips and camping at his family’s property.
