Management

Webert Lovencin, PhD, PE is a principal and senior project engineer at NicNevol Engineering Services, Inc. Webert is a graduate of the University of Florida, where he received a BS, MS and PhD in Civil Engineering. While obtaining his graduate degrees, he was selected to be a Professional Engineering (PE) Trainee for the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) in District 2. Upon completing the FDOT PE Trainee program, he accepted a position in the FDOT Resident Construction Office in Palatka. While there, he worked as a Project Administrator, Project Engineer and Construction Project Manager. During his tenure at Palatka Construction, he was exposed to many aspects of FDOT’s operations including administration, construction, design, and maintenance. Having been exposed to the particulars for managing small to complex construction projects helped shaped his understanding of the business side of providing professional services for roadway and bridge construction projects.

After obtaining his Professional Engineer (PE) License, Webert wanted to sharpen his expertise by using his knowledge outside of the DOT in the private sector. Webert worked for a local private engineering consulting firm where he was able to work on the other side of the table and oversee projects. With a keen understanding of the construction business in Northeast Florida, Webert formed his own engineering firm, NicNevol Engineering Services, Inc.

He has been instrumental in the development and continued growth of the company. Part of Webert’s responsibility include finding new clients and maintaining existing client relationships. In addition, he has represented the organization in some civic and professional association.

Webert is a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), American Society of Highways Engineer (ASHE), Florida Engineering Society (FES) and the American Standard Testing Methods (ASTM). Webert served on ASTM Committee Board C09.
