What SSC Engineering does

SSC Engineering, Inc. is an employee-owned professional engineering consulting firm headquartered in Chesterfield, Missouri, with a secondary office in Tinley Park, Illinois, and licensure in 49 U.S. states. Founded in 1991, the firm provides integrated multi-discipline building engineering design across mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, and structural engineering, serving architects, building owners, contractors, and government agencies on healthcare, federal/military, education, municipal, commercial, and data-center projects.

The firm's technical core is BIM-based coordination — using Revit, AutoCAD, and Navisworks Manage to integrate mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, and structural systems within a single model, particularly for complex healthcare renovations and mission-critical facilities. Specialized capabilities include FEMA 361 hardened construction design, arc flash and selective coordination studies per NFPA 70E, RCDD-certified telecommunications infrastructure, Tier II-IV data center design, commissioning, and LEED-certified sustainable design. The firm carries 18 licensed Professional Engineers and 2 LEED AP Engineers.

Revenue is generated through professional services fees from project-based consulting engagements, quoted per project rather than disclosed publicly. Go-to-market is direct sales-led: long-term client relationships (notably a 25+ year relationship with the VA Heartland Network, plus repeat work with BJC Healthcare, Washington University School of Medicine, and multiple military installations), supplemented by industry recognition (BD+C Giants 400 Top 75 Engineering Firm, AIA/HUD Secretary's Award in Community Informed Design) and an online project portfolio. The company has no disclosed funding rounds, operates without a parent company, and is led by a Principal team of Chris Cornett, Rich Kwiatkowski, Brian Scott, and (since September 2025) Corey Bryant.
