New Faces at Moore Engineering!
We are excited to welcome several new employees to the Moore Engineering team. Learn more about them below.
Katie Sobolik | Professional Engineer II
Originally from Reynolds, ND, Katie’s journey has taken her from the University of North Dakota to Williston, where she spent six years honing her skills. Her first two years were in the oil and gas industry as a hydraulic fracturing engineer, followed by four years in civil engineering with a focus on site design and municipal projects. Katie loves contributing to the infrastructure we rely on daily. Outside of work, she enjoys running, gardening, and cooking.
She is located in our Williston office.
Luke Henderson| GIS Analyst
Luke Henderson is rejoining Moore Engineering. He previously worked with us as a GIS Technician over 2 years ago and has since gained experience in GIS development and drone mapping at Pima County, Arizona.
Recently relocated back to Minnesota with his wife and three kids, Luke enjoys drone photography, working on cars, and spending time outdoors.
