Fire Protection Engineer & Investigator, SGH
Nate Wittasek is a fire protection engineer who brings a practical, science-based approach to developing fire resistance and wildfire resilience strategies for buildings and campuses. His work blends performance-based fire engineering, building science, and code strategy to address complex risks in both new construction and existing facilities. Nate’s background spans academia, the fire service, failure analysis, hazardous materials, and fire life safety engineering, with project experience across North America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. He works closely with project teams to evaluate fire exposure, ignition pathways, material performance, and system reliability—particularly in wildfire-prone regions where prescriptive approaches may fall short. Nate supports academic, institutional, cultural, residential, and infrastructure projects by clarifying risk, aligning design intent with regulatory requirements, and advancing resilient, pragmatic fire protection solutions.
