Benjamin Zeitlin joined Sewall in late 2024 after spending six years engrossed in engineering courses at the University of Maine. Specializing in the disciplines of water and environment, he earned his BS and MS degrees in engineering to learn about how water and the built environment are interconnected. Ben’s previous work experience encompassed various construction projects located in both northern and southern Maine.
At Sewall, he is responsible for cost estimations and project analysis utilizing AutoCAD to model site conditions, both current and proposed. Future plans are to prepare for the PE exam.
Outside of work, he likes to spend his weekends watching cheesy movies with his family, mountain biking, and coding.
