A DIFFERENT VISION OF ENGINEERING

With a large experience as a department manager and project manager for renowned engineering firms, our founder, Jean-Philippe Lemire, started P54 with a strong conviction to bring a different face to engineering.

THE CHOICE OF AN ENGINEERING FIRM SHOULD BE BASED ON THE EXPERTS WHO WORK THERE AND THE TIME THEY HAVE TO DEVOTE TO US.

– Jean-Philippe Lemire

Our vision is to help restore the reputation of Quebec’s consulting engineering industry, where our technical expertise has been proven time and again.

A dazzling growth

Between 2019 and 2021, the P54 team has grown from 26 employees to over 60. Recognizing that our employees are our greatest asset, we are proud to have built a strong team of talented and passionate people.
