Mr. Nicastro serves as the Team Leader for Constructability and Value Engineering (VE). In this capacity, he helps manage programs, including the PennDOT On-Call, CTDOT On-Call, and the SEPTA Trolley Modification Constructability Task, as well as handling internal constructability reviews for Urban’s designs. He is also involved with the Construction Management (CM) Department, most recently contributing to the CCD City Hall Lighting Program project.

Before joining Urban, Mr. Nicastro spent 12 years working with large, heavy civil contractors in the Mid-Atlantic region. For seven of those years, he operated in the Baltimore/DC metro area, working on projects such as commercial site development, construction of new county landfill cells, and reconstruction of Taxiway Whiskey at Andrews Air Force Base (the Air Force One Taxiway). 

One of his most significant accomplishments was his role in the MD-404 dualization design-build project. As part of a joint venture, he helped reconstruct 9.1 miles of MD-404 on Maryland’s Eastern Shore within an intense 18-month timeline. The project’s complexity and schedule demands provided him the opportunity to apply value engineering and constructability expertise directly to field operations, ultimately ensuring the road’s opening to traffic by Thanksgiving 2017.

In July 2018, Mr. Nicastro relocated to Pennsylvania, continuing his work as a contractor on the US-1 RC1 project, where he managed the roadway component. He also managed the New Falls Road over the PA Turnpike project.

Mr. Nicastro earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil and Architectural Engineering from Drexel University and is a registered Professional Engineer (PE) in Maryland and Pennsylvania.
