This rare blend of technical and business education has guided his career, enabling him to handle both engineering precision and management responsibilities with equal focus and expertise.

Koenigsberg is a licensed professional engineer in both New York and Illinois. These credentials allow him to formally approve engineering work and confirm his technical qualifications in both states. From 1993 until 1996, he served as a Senior Engineer with M.G. McLaren, P.C., where he specialized in underwater structural inspections. In that position, he was both a team leader and a professional engineer diver, conducting significant projects for the U.S. Navy Weapons Station in Concord, California, and for the New York State Department of Transportation. His responsibilities included detailed inspections that required ultrasonic thickness testing and cathodic protection evaluations to identify corrosion and structural concerns.

In 1996, Richard founded Koenigsberg Engineering, P.C., with offices in New York and Chicago. As principal, he has conducted over 1,000 inspections of roofs and façades, utilizing scaffold-based methods and water penetration analysis to prepare technical specifications for repairs. The firm manages entire projects, including preparation of bid documents, contractor negotiations, and on-site monitoring. This approach ensures that restoration projects are completed to technical standards, remain within budget, and are finished on schedule.

Over the years, his firm has managed façade restoration projects worth more than fifty million dollars in combined construction value. Many of these projects involve historic landmark buildings, where preservation requires specialized skills. His work with terra cotta, limestone, and masonry restoration has been crucial in preserving the original character of these structures while ensuring their structural integrity. His expertise in custom cast terra cotta and masonry repair has made him a trusted consultant in this field. Richard Koenigsberg of New York continues to guide his firm with a steady commitment to quality, technical precision, and preservation of architectural heritage.
