With a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering from Guru Nanak Dev Engineering College, one of India’s top educational institutions, as well as a master’s degree in civil engineering from the New Jersey Institute of Technology, Singh has refined his ability to deliver technical expertise in addressing complex structural challenges.

In his new role, Singh assumes additional responsibilities, including researching rehabilitation and repair alternatives, selecting building materials, preparing project specifications, and developing engineering solutions. He collaborates with project team members to develop technical design details that align with the project’s design direction and maintain code compliance. He also establishes project budgets, schedules, and milestones, communicating regularly with clients to provide design guidance and report on project progress.

A registered Engineer-in-Training (EIT) in New York, Singh holds certifications from the International Code Council (ICC) and the City of New York as a Structural Masonry Special Inspector. He is an associate member of SEAoNY and actively contributes to Hoffmann’s Emerging Professionals Group.
