Principal
Overview

Arsen Hambardzumian, P.E. established Nesra Engineering in 2011 to provide municipal clients with a
high-touch approach to project development that he found was missing in the large engineering firms.
He is directly involved in the design, permitting, client communication and presentation of every project.
The direct communication between the designer, client and end users ensures that the final product
reflects the vision and expectation of all parts. We feel that the continued return of satisfied clients as
evident by the municipal projects in our representative experience section provides the validation
necessary to stay true to our approach.
