About Us

Shine Engineering P.A. was founded by John M Shine in April of 2000. The company started as as a one man operation, and has very quickly blossomed into a burgeoning firm with multiple licensed Professional Engineers on staff. In 2019, we have moved to our current location in Parsippany. Mr Shine and his fellow engineers have prided themselves on being jack-of-all trades: being experts in their respective disciplines – as well as being cross-trained and knowledge in all the other trades of MEP Engineering and basic construction. The objective in each and every project, is to provide high-level technical expertise and design in Mechanical, Electrical, Fire Alarm, Plumbing, and Fire Protection while establishing rapport and attention to detail that only a small business can offer. John takes prides in visiting each site – so that his designs will be practical, efficient, and tailor-made for each individual. John Shine has established long-term relationships with his clients – Property owners, Property managers, Contractors, Architects – and welcomes new clients and consultations.
