About Seth Wittlinger

I graduated in May, 2016 from the University at Buffalo with a B.S. in Civil Engineering. Throughout my college experience, I knew I wanted to work within the Civil Engineering field, but never was certain of the specialty that I was most interested in. During my Junior year at UB, I began to take a special interest in the structural field of Civil Engineering. I am truly fascinated by the many intricacies within the structural field of engineering. I had the tremendous opportunity of interning with an engineering consulting firm, specializing in environmental health and safety (Leader Consulting Services, Inc.) throughout three years of college. Following graduation, I was fortunate enough to work, as a Design Engineer, at a joist and deck manufacturing plant (Vulcraft of New York). Both of these work experiences have helped by giving me a much better understanding of the numerous fields within Civil Engineering and have taught me a number of invaluable lessons.Currently, I am a Civil Engineer in Buffalo, NY for CPL, a full-service A&E firm. My goal is to become more than just a Structural Engineer, but rather a complete well-rounded engineer, understanding as many facets within the Civil Engineering field as possible. I am certain that my dedication and drive will allow me to accomplish the various tasks and challenges I may come across throughout my career.
