(West Fargo, ND) -- The City of West Fargo recently hired Dan Hanson as City Engineer. In this role, Hanson is responsible for coordinating, directing and implementing engineering policy and services; as well as overseeing activities, budget and performance of the engineering department.

“We are look forward to bringing Dan’s knowledge, experience, and perspective to the City of West Fargo,” said City Administrator Tina Fisk. “We have enjoyed working with him as a collaborator in his previous role, and are proud to officially welcome him to the team.”

Hanson is a 1997 civil engineering graduate of North Dakota State University and holds a professional engineer license in both North Dakota and Minnesota. Hanson began his engineering career in the Twin Cities area, returning to North Dakota in 2000. Hanson comes to the City of West Fargo from Moore Engineering, Inc. where he served as a Senior Project Manager and provided engineering services for multiple municipalities, including West Fargo, Dilworth and Barnesville.

“I am honored to become the next City Engineer for the City of West Fargo,” said Hanson. “I am excited to experience the culture built here by administration and staff, and look forward to continuing to work on projects that improve the quality of life for the residents of this community.” 

Hanson takes over for Dustin Scott, who was previously hired as the city's first engineer back in 2019, before accepting a new title as West Fargo Assistant City Administrator in April.
