Welcome Sarah Sager, Project Delivery Group Manager

April 2, 2026

We’re excited to welcome Sarah Sager, PMP, to Primera as she steps into the role of Project Delivery Group Manager for our Utilities team. Sarah brings a unique blend of engineering expertise, program oversight, and people‑first leadership that fits seamlessly with our culture. In her role, Sarah will help streamline and improve the division’s project management and delivery processes, while also focusing on the growth and development of our project delivery staff.

According to Sarah, “I really believe that when we lead with empathy and remember that everyone is human, our work, and our relationships, are stronger. A little understanding goes a long way, especially on the days when things don’t go as planned.” As Group Manager, Sarah will carry this people-centered approach forward as she leads her team toward growth.

Sarah joins Primera with more than 10 years of experience. Her path into engineering and project management began at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, where she earned dual degrees in geological engineering and geoscience & geophysics. She began her career in the oil and gas industry, working as both an exploration geologist and geosteering engineer. Prior to joining Primera, Sarah worked at another engineering firm managing multiple utilities programs. In her role here, she’ll oversee our utilities program involvement, implement efficiencies, elevate client satisfaction, and foster a positive, supportive experience for our utilities team.

“What stands out most about Sarah is her philosophy toward people,” says Elizabeth Odegaard, Vice President & Project Delivery Department Manager. “She believes empathy belongs in every interaction. This leadership style, combined with her technical background, makes her a natural fit for Primera.”

Sarah extends her people-centered philosophy beyond the office, leading the Women’s Energy Network Chicago’s mentorship program and advocating for the LGBTQ+ community at Chicago Pride Fest each year [pictured on the left].

Please join us in welcoming Sarah to the team. We’re thrilled she’s here and excited for the impact she’ll make on our Utilities division and across the firm.
