Welcome 2024 Interns!
For decades, Moore Engineering’s internship program has given students across the region an opportunity to work alongside engineers, surveyors, and scientists as they prepare for a full-time role. Many of our employees first served as interns before starting their careers.
Today, we’re happy to introduce the first set of our 2024 summer interns! Stay tuned for future blogs that will highlight the others who’ve joined us.
Abigail Carlson
Engineering Tech I | West Fargo, ND
Meet Abigail Carlson, a student at Hamline University in St. Paul, Minnesota majoring in Physics and Spanish. She is set to graduate in the spring of 2025. Her interest in Moore Engineering began with her high school being across the street from our office, which sparked her curiosity about the company. Before joining Moore, Abigail interned for a city government, and her mentor this year encouraged her to explore the private sector of the industry. She is eager to apply her knowledge to benefit her community and feels that her values are well aligned with those of Moore Engineering. We are excited to have her on the team!
