Brad Krogstad, P.E.

Brad Krogstad, P.E. manages the Bismarck Municipal Engineering Group for KL&J in Bismarck, North Dakota, where he is responsible for managing the design of numerous municipal, federal, commercial, and residential engineering and development projects. In addition, Krogstad is the City Engineer for Lincoln and Steele, North Dakota. One of his engineering accomplishments was assisting the drainage design lead, and eventually becoming the drainage design lead on Minnesota Department of Transportation’s first large design-build project in Rochester, New York. He coordinated all aspects of the drainage design, construction services, and quality control and assurance procedures for the eight-person drainage design team. With his involvement, the design and construction of the project finished in three years instead of the projected 12 and won the 2006 American Public Works Association Project of the Year for transportation projects over $100 million.

Krogstad holds bachelor’s degree in civil engineering from North Dakota State University and volunteers his time with MATHCOUNTS and is a member of the Bismarck-Mandan Chamber Young Professionals.
