Rooted in Newfoundland, Growing Nationwide

Founded in 2012, Progressive Engineering & Consulting (PEC) was built on a clear mission: to meet the infrastructure needs of Newfoundland and Labrador with smart, responsive, and community-driven engineering services.

Led by Darryl Mills, P.Eng., and Kelly Hickey, CET, PEC was established with over 40 years of combined experience in civil engineering, project management, and consulting. Together, they saw the need for a local firm that could offer deep technical expertise while remaining agile, service-oriented, and rooted in traditional values.

Since then, PEC has grown steadily, delivering successful municipal and civil projects across the province. Our team continues to evolve — embracing new technologies, tools, and approaches — while staying true to our core values of Service, Solutions, and Success.

Our Values

At PEC, we believe that great engineering is rooted in purpose, collaboration, and service. Our official motto: Service, Solutions, Success reflects how we approach every project and relationship.

  • Service: We put people first, delivering responsive, hands-on support to clients and communities.
  • Solutions: Every challenge is an opportunity. We design with clarity, creativity, and intent.
  • Success: We measure outcomes by long-term impact, not short-term wins — for both infrastructure and relationships.

These values guide how we work, how we grow, and how we show up for the communities we serve.

Looking Ahead

As we grow, PEC remains focused on building resilient, sustainable infrastructure that supports both current needs and future challenges.

We’re expanding our capabilities, investing in our people, and embracing new tools and technologies — all while staying grounded in the trusted relationships and values that got us here.

Whether serving remote communities or managing large-scale urban infrastructure, we’re ready to deliver lasting impact, across Newfoundland and beyond.
