Kraus-Anderson Madison promotes Jason Peterson to Director of Operations

Company also hires James Rognstad as Facility Assessment Manager

MADISON, Wis. (January 2024) – Kraus-Anderson Construction (KA) has promoted Jason Peterson to director of operations for the company’s Madison office. He succeeds Tom Roepke, who continues to serve as regional vice president of construction operations for the company’s Wisconsin regional offices including Madison and Milwaukee.

In his new role, Peterson will be responsible for the day-to-day operations, including marketing and business development, budgeting, leading negotiations, staffing and productivity. He joined KA in 2003 as project superintendent, moved into project management in 2007 and most recently has served as director of project planning and development in the K-12 market sector. 

A 31-year industry veteran, Peterson’s resume includes managing projects in multiple building sectors with an extensive focus on K-12 schools. In addition to construction oversight, he also led planning processes and facilitated consensus among numerous school districts and community stakeholders to support school bonding referenda.

Peterson’s well-rounded professional development demonstrates his effective leadership and hands-on operations experience.

“Jason’s deep experience and industry knowledge will drive our continued growth, solidifying our position as industry leaders,” said Roepke.  “As importantly, he brings to the region a community-centric approach, which will foster meaningful connections and build strong relationships.”

To augment the company’s facility sustainability, planning and assessment units, KA’s Madison office has also named James Rognstad as facility assessment manager. He will work to ensure building efficiency and longevity, as well as identifying maintenance needs and upgrades, and safety concerns for optimal functionality. 

Rognstad previously served as planning executive and senior facility analyst at SitelogIQ in Madison, where he led and managed new business relationships with school superintendents, finance directors and directors of facilities to support initiatives during the process of strategic master planning and project development.

“KA is continuing to add to our arsenal of expertise to support the planning and development phase of projects in order to provide clients and business partners with the best information to base important long-term decisions that align with their project goals and expectations,” said Roepke.  “These assessments help owners make the most of their investment in their built environment—from conception, through construction, existing facilities analysis, deferred maintenance, energy and sustainability assessment, through the life cycle of their physical plant.”
