Trusted Civil Engineering Services in Mt Shasta
As the founder of Mt Shasta Engineering, I bring over 15 years of professional experience to civil engineering and consultation services. My career began with 8 years as president of Mt Shasta Engineering, Inc., where I built a reputation for honesty, integrity, and professionalism. While I now operate on a more limited basis as Nicholas Riddle, P.E., I continue to leverage my deep local knowledge to help clients navigate project challenges from concept to reality. My focus remains on assembling competent design teams and providing resources to ensure project success. With expertise in structural systems, land development, and municipal infrastructure, I maintain a commitment to responsive, code-compliant solutions.My background includes extensive work on commercial/residential buildings, ADA accessibility, and complex infrastructure projects. Though currently serving as a resident civil engineer for Caltrans, I remain available for private projects requiring specialized engineering consultation. My approach emphasizes transparency, respect, and understanding of Northern California's unique development challenges. I hold a California Professional Engineer license (c73872) and maintain active involvement in both public and private sector projects. This experience enables me to provide practical solutions that balance regulatory requirements with client objectives while maintaining the highest professional standards.
