Metric Engineering

What Metric Engineering does

Metric Engineering, Inc. is a privately held, family-owned civil engineering and transportation consulting firm headquartered in Miami, Florida, founded in 1976 by Victor M. Benitez, P.E. The firm delivers full-lifecycle professional engineering services for public-sector infrastructure clients, spanning planning, PD&E studies, roadway and structural design, construction engineering and inspection (CEI), ITS CEI, traffic management center (TMC) operations, transportation systems management and operations (TSM&O), connected vehicle infrastructure deployment, environmental permitting, emergency management modeling, and — as of April 2026 — landscape architecture. Core technical offerings center on Intelligent Transportation Systems, Connected Vehicle technology (RSUs, OBUs, SPaT/MAP messaging), 24/7 ITS network maintenance, and drone-enabled CEI workflows. Marquee project credentials include Florida's first Diverging Diamond Interchange (I-75 at University), the $457M I-75 iROX reconstruction, $253.3M Wekiva 8, and the SunTrax autonomous vehicle testing facility Phase 1.

Revenue is generated through fee-based professional services contracts awarded via competitive procurement with state and local government transportation agencies — primarily FDOT (multiple districts), CFX, Florida's Turnpike Enterprise, Broward County, and the Miami-Dade Expressway Authority — under both project-specific awards and multi-year continuing services agreements. The firm holds WBENC certification as a Women's Business Enterprise and operates regional offices in Miami, Jacksonville, and Orlando, with a newly announced Texas expansion (January 2026) supported by dedicated senior executive hires. Leadership transitioned to the second generation in April 2021, with founder Victor Benitez moving to Chairman, Manny Benitez continuing as President, and Veronica Benitez appointed CEO. The firm employs 251-500 staff across its offices and reports no external equity, debt, or institutional ownership; ownership and control remain concentrated within the Benitez family.
