Education
Raissa R. Lopez, PE, SI obtained her Civil Engineering degree in La Habana, Cuba in 1990. After emigrating to the US in 1995, she acquired her Bachelors of Science in Civil Engineering, and in 2003 she became a Professional Engineer in the State of Florida. Two years later she decided she was ready to open her own firm, and the business model of our engineering firm keeps growing ever since.
Professional Experience
Since the beginning of her professional life, she specialized in Structural Engineering and up to date has gained over 25 years of experience in the structural engineering field.
Raissa has been very involved in all the public projects Eastern Engineering Group has been awarded with and has worked with Miami Dade County Public Schools for over ten years. This has given her the expertise to time manage and work effectively within a budget following government standards.
Professional Registrations
Ms. Lopez has worked in Florida and Nevada, and has reciprocated her professional license in 11 other states, including New York, Massachusetts, Ohio, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Wisconsin, New Jersey, New Mexico, Louisiana, Virginia, Mississippi and Texas. Because of this Eastern Engineering Group has been able to perform projects in all of those states.
