What We Do

RS Engineering is a professional consulting engineering firm based in New York City, New Jersey and Florida specializing in MEP-FP Engineering and Energy Conservation, focusing on building design, integrated building services, and energy efficient engineering.

RS Engineering has been established by a group of professional engineers with many years of experience in the industry. The team consists of like-minded seasoned pros who felt that by creating our own company we would be able to influence the culture and make it a very special place to work.

We pride ourselves on our response to the fast-changing needs and expectations of our clients. Our inspiration is the determination by the founders to identify a way to provide world class MEP-FP engineering services, speed and quality with the principals concentrating on clients, projects and teamwork. We define the scope and goals of the project early in the design and ensure that the appropriate procurement route and full project scope are understood by the team.

You have to be good people. We
have to treat our clients, staff and
counterparties the way that we
would like to be treated.
