What Premier Engineering Group does

Premier Engineering Group, Inc. is a full-service mechanical, electrical, and plumbing/fire protection (MEP) engineering consulting firm headquartered in Rockaway, New Jersey. The firm designs HVAC systems, electrical distribution and lighting, plumbing and medical gas systems, and fire alarm/suppression systems for new construction and renovation projects. Core technology depth spans conventional engineering design across boiler/chiller plants, VRF and VAV systems, medium-to-high voltage distribution, NFPA 13/72-compliant fire protection, BMS integration, healthcare-grade clean rooms and imaging suites, and clean-room, healthcare, and laboratory gas systems. Services are delivered through four product lines (Mechanical/HVAC, Electrical, Plumbing, Fire Alarm/Protection) typically as integrated engagements from initial site evaluation through contract administration.

The firm operates on a project-based professional services revenue model, with engagements scoped and quoted individually for each client. Its go-to-market relies on direct enterprise field sales to owners, architects, developers, municipal agencies, institutions, and other engineers, supported by a downloadable corporate Qualifications Package and website presence. Customer segmentation is vertical: K-12 schools (primary), healthcare facilities, banking and commercial, places of worship, and municipal facilities. Named enterprise clients include Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Kearny Federal Savings Bank, Hackensack University Medical Center, St. Clare's Health Systems, the Veteran's Administration, and dozens of New Jersey school districts and municipalities.

Premier Engineering Group is a privately held, family-owned business with continuous operation since founding in 1955 by Ralph J Visco. Ownership passed to Larry Muse as LJM Engineering Group in 1993, and to Greg and Helle-May Cheney in 2016, who rebranded the firm to its current name. The firm maintains a 1-10 employee headcount, is certified as an NJ Women-Owned and Small Business Enterprise, and is prequalified as an NJSDA consultant across six engineering disciplines. Geographic operations are concentrated in New Jersey with project extensions into New York and Pennsylvania.
