Sam Bibeau | Civil Engineer

Can you share a bit about your professional background and experience?

My first internship was with Northeast Civil Solutions, where I got my first introduction to site design, and frequently went out with the survey crew. Last summer, I was an intern here at Sebago Technics. Over the course of the summer, I gained experience working on various site design projects, tagged along on some inspections, and helped out the permitting team. This past May I graduated with a degree in Civil Engineering from the University of New Hampshire.
