Cesar Soto is the Founder and Principal of Paramount Consulting & Engineering. He oversees the company’s strategy and operations, develops client relationships, and assists with high-level engineering challenges. Most days, you will find him on job sites ensuring that the team’s work exceeds client expectations. Cesar graduated with a degree in civil engineering in the Dominican Republic before relocating to Florida, where he became a Professional Engineer in 2002. He started his career as an inspector with IBA Consultants in Miami, quickly rising to project manager, consulting engineer, and then vice president, a role that put him in charge of three Florida offices before he left in 2010 to start Paramount. Since then, his client list has grown by 50-100% yearly. In his 25+ years of practice, Cesar has earned a threshold building inspector license and certifications in below-grade waterproofing and structural glazing, among others. He’s worked on thousands of projects involving many materials and techniques, including curtain wall, stone, metal panels, waterproofing, and more. He’s also particularly proud of Paramount’s work on One Thousand Museum. This project challenged the team to perform at their highest level across every service category.
