 I attended Southeastern from 2015 to 2018 in pursuit of my bachlor degree in IT-Supervision
Concentration. During this time I was fortunate to see the department grow and move
to the new technology building.

The progress this department made is tremendous, I learned so much during my time
in the IT program and this program has opened many career opportunities for me. I
hope to expand students opportunities by providing my expertise in the residential
construction field and what this field has to offer.

Nick Cavaretta received his BS in Industrial Technology in 2009 and his MBA in 2012
both from Southeastern Louisiana University. He currently works for Ampirical Solutions
in Covington, LA as a Sr Project Manager managing distribution as well as substation
projects for clients such as Entergy and CLECO.

Nick started his career in the heavy civil construction industry building interstates
and highways in Louisiana before transitioning into the Power Utility industry as
a designer/engineer for Hawaiian Electric Company. Collectively, he has five (5) years
of design experience and seven (7) years of Project Management experience.

I am a civil structural designer with diverse experience in industrial, commercial,
and government sectors. In May 2018, I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Technology
with concentrations in drafting, design, and supervision from SELU. Over the past
five years, I have focused on refining my expertise in Autodesk design tools to produce
accurate construction documents. My passion lies in leveraging technology to advance
industrial design practices. I am committed to integrating cutting-edge modeling techniques
into construction documentation, thereby enhancing the quality and efficiency of engineering
deliverables for the future.
