Duluth, MN – January 2025 - Hunt’s Chief Operating Officer Keith Colvard recently announced three exciting promotions in the Operations Department! Chris Bentrott has been promoted to Operations Manager-Local Operations; Jeff Young has been promoted to Regional Vice President; and Kevin Colvard has been promoted to Field Labor Manager.
Throughout Chris’s 27-year tenure at Hunt, he has held roles as a Project Engineer, Assistant PM, PM and Senior PM. Chris initially became interested in the electrical industry after a summer job with a small electrical contractor in Iowa. He continued doing electrical work throughout college, and eventually went to Dunwoody for Electrical Construction. He joined Hunt after graduating, and the rest is history! “You don’t stay at a place for 27 years if you don’t feel taken care and valued,” Chris shared.
Jeff has been at Hunt for around a year but has been in the industry his whole life. His grandfather was an electrician for 50 years, his father was an electrician who owned his own company, and after college Jeff followed in their footsteps and became a third-generation electrician. Now, in his new role as Regional Vice President, Jeff is excited to bring the expertise that has helped Hunt grow and expand it to our Regional Operations.
Kevin Colvard has been promoted to Field Labor Manager after working as a General Foreman at Hunt for over 20 years. With that many years of experience, Kevin has seen it all! But his favorite project from his two decades with Hunt? The U of M Combined Heat and Power Plant. Expectations were high, but the customer’s demands were met. They were even quoted saying “Hunt brought the “A” squad for this one!” Kevin hopes his promotion inspires other electricians to step into leadership roles.
Congratulations again to Chris, Jeff, and Kevin! We can’t wait to see you shine in your new roles!
