Who We Are

When Johnson Engineering was established in 1946, much of Florida was an undisturbed land. Now 78 years later we have seen radical changes in development and a tremendous population growth which has altered the landscape permanently.

Just as Florida has transformed dramatically over the years, so has Johnson Engineering. What started as one man surveying Southwest Florida, has developed into a balanced group of professionals whose experience, skills, and efficiency are hard to match.

The company is employee owned by 18 stockholders and led by an internal Board of Directors. As owners, there is a vested interest in the success of the company and its future. On all projects, the firm brings the necessary and required expertise to the table to see that our client’s needs have been addressed.

While Johnson Engineering is focused on growing and evolving to continue serving the needs of Florida, it remains true to its past and the values upon which the company was founded.
