'''Morrison and Maierle Join Forces''' |
|||
Starting a private firm in Montana was a considerable risk as consulting engineering was a little-known profession in 1945. In a 1995 interview, Morrison said: “In my work with the state and through the traveling I had done, I’d observed that in many of the Montana communities, there was quite a need for improvements to the streets, their sanitary systems, water systems, and the other branches of infrastructure to make them meet the needs of modern-day conditions.” |

Comment: External links should be removed or converted to inline citations where appropriate. Greenman (talk) 12:01, 19 April 2024 (UTC)- Comment: This sounds promotional rather than encyclopedic. Take a look at First Interstate BancSystem for history example and Link & Haire for partner biographies. Neither is perfect but will hopefully guide you.--Tbennert (talk) 02:57, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
Morrison-Maierle is a 100% employee-owned, professional services consulting firm offering capabilities in engineering, surveying, planning, technology, and science. It provides civil, structural, mechanical, and electrical engineering, surveying, airport and transportation planning, and environmental science services. Most of its projects include work for agriculture, airports, commercial, education, energy, healthcare, industrial, government (sovereign nations and federal, state, and local governments), housing, and transportation.
History In 1945, John Morrison Sr.[1], a 15-year bridge design chief at the Montana Highway Department, started the firm in his home in Helena, Montana. In 1946, his friend, Joe Maierle, joined him and they formed Morrison-Maierle, Inc.
John Morrison, Sr. Born in Bedford, England, John Morrison, Sr.'s family settled in Connecticut when he was ten. As a young man, on a trip to the West with his brother, they stopped to talk to a highway department survey crew near Arlee, Montana. Arguing about their future, the brothers decided that a coin toss would determine whether they stayed in Montana or moved on to the Pacific Coast. John Morrison, Sr. won the coin toss, stayed in Montana, and enrolled at Montana State College (now Montana State University) in 1923. He received a B.S. in 1927 and obtained his professional civil engineering license in 1931. Morrison is the first person in Montana to have been licensed as a professional engineer-surveyor.
Joe Maierle Joe Maierle, was born in East Helena, Montana, where his father worked at the Asarco plant. Joe completed his college degree in basic engineering from Mount St. Charles College—now Carroll College—in 1929 in Helena, Montana. Joe intended to finish his civil engineering degree at Montana State College (now Montana State University[2]). After his father passed away in 1929, he stayed in the Helena and applied for a job at the Montana Highway Commission, took a correspondence course, and completed his engineering education.
Morrison’s son, John Jr.[3], said in an interview in the PSMJ Resources, Inc. newsletter about Morrison-Maierle: “When my father and Joe Maierle went into business together in 1946, they had a partnership many of us envy. I don’t think they ever argued, and both understood what they needed to be successful: a good staff, a genuine concern for clients, and the ability to agree upon and set a course of action for the firm.”[4]
