01 / The problem
Most programmes don't miss deadlines because the design was wrong.
They miss deadlines because thirty contractors, four OEMs, a utility, a landlord and a regulator are all working from different versions of the truth. Drawings drift. RFIs pile up. CR's appear from nowhere. Long-lead items land in the wrong order. Nobody owns the line between deliverables, so the line is where the weeks disappear.
It is a coordination problem, and it is too many people with conflicting priorities.
02 / What we do
One team.
Two industries.
Mission-critical infrastructure and warehouse automation both live and die on coordination. Same lifecycle. From Design-to-Go Live.
Data Centres
For GCs · Owner-Operators
Material Handling Automation
For OEMs and Integrators
01
Long-lead equipment
Switchgear, chillers, UPS, generators. Orders placed before the steel goes up, tracked weekly, slips flagged the day they happen.
Engineering Lifecycle
A partner there when you need them. It could be at the very start at customer KO, or just independent Integration Testing - we are there for you.
02
MEP trade interface
The seam between mechanical, electrical, controls and time is where programmes die. We own that seam - coordinating disciplines, resolving clashes, holding the schedule before it slips.
Design
Be it mechanical, electrical, PLC or software - it is in our DNA. It is our foundation.
03
Commissioning L1–L5
Every script, every override, every retest. We run the room until the client takes they keys.
Multi-Discipline Commissioning
Electrical and PLC pre-commissioning and commissioning. WCS, WMS and system integration. We engineer the handover - specifications met, performance verified, accountability documented.
04
Operations turnover
O&M`s, as-builts, spares register, SOP`s / MOP`s / EOP`s. The ops team starts day one knowing what they own.
Training
Building a train-the-trainer programme, so your team is not burdened with the full weight on the onboarding.

03 / Disciplines
Every discipline. One roof.
Twelve disciplines under one roof. No subcontractor chains, no finger-pointing, no gaps between trades where programmes go to die.
Mechanical & HVAC
Cooling strategies, airflow modelling, layout design, product design and plant room design backed by CFD validation. From data centres to high-density automation.
Electrical & Power
LV, MV and HV design from incoming utility to the rack PDU. Load studies, selectivity, redundancy schemes, UPS and generator integration. EPLAN documentation throughout. We engineer the resilience model first, then the single-line - not the other way around.
PLC & Controls
Control philosophy, hardware specification, code architecture and FAT/SAT planning. Siemens, Rockwell, Allen-Bradley, Schneider. We design the logic before we touch the keyboard, and we document every state - including the ones that should never happen.
Software, WCS & WMS
Warehouse Control Systems, Warehouse Management Systems and the integration layer that ties them to mechanical handling. SAP, Manhattan, Blue Yonder, bespoke. Throughput modelling, data flow design, and the unglamorous middleware that makes the whole site work.
Project Management & Executive Support
Senior PMs running the schedule, the risk register and the client interface. Steering committee packs, board-level reporting, and the executive support that keeps decisions moving when the programme can’t afford another week of consultation.
Commissioning & Validation
Pre-comm, cold comm, hot comm, System Integration Testing and throughput verification - proving the system actually hits design rate under real load, not just the easy cases. Documented evidence of performance against specification, signed off in a form your operator, your insurer and your regulator will all accept. The handover that holds up under audit.
BIM & CAD
Revit, AutoCAD, Navisworks. Federated models, clash detection, 4D scheduling and 5D cost integration. The model is the contract - what's drawn is what gets built, and what gets built is what gets handed over.
EHS
Construction phase plans, CDM compliance, method statements and risk assessments designed to be read, not just filed. Site safety culture that the workforce actually follows because it was built around the work, not bolted on after it.
Civil & Structural
Foundations, slabs, structural steel, mezzanines and seismic considerations. We coordinate the structural engineer's output into the MEP and automation packages so floor flatness, point loads and penetration schedules are right the first time.
Material Management
Long-lead identification, supplier coordination, expediting, inspection and on-site logistics. We track every critical component from PO to position - because the schedule lives or dies on whether the right kit is in the right place on the right week.
Budget Control
Cost plans, value engineering, change control and earned-value reporting. Forecasts you can defend to the board, variances flagged before they become surprises, and a CAPEX picture that matches the build in real time.
Procurement
Vendor selection, technical evaluation, contract structuring and negotiation. We buy on total cost of ownership, not headline price - and we own the supplier relationship through delivery, not just signature.
04 / Nearshore
The world’s best-kept engineering secret until now.
Portugal is one of Europe`s strongest engineering hubs. A deep pool of senior mechanical, automation, electrical and software engineers, trained to EU standards and fluent in English.
We call it nearshore for a reason: not a distant back office, but a team that works your hours, to your standards as an extension of your own.
From London to Frankfurt to Austin, our teams plug straight into your programme.
#1
in EMEA for nearshoring
Savills Nearshoring Index 2024. Portugal ranked first among EMEA destinations for nearshore engineering and shared services delivery.
6th
globally for English proficiency
EF English Proficiency Index 2024. 2.1 million adults tested across 116 countries. Portugal scored 605, with Lisbon scoring 626 — tied for the highest score of any global capital city.
65k+
professionals in shared services
AICEP (Portuguese Trade & Investment Agency), 2024. Anchor employers include Siemens (1,000+ engineers in Lisbon Tech Hub), Microsoft, Google, SAP, BNP Paribas, Bosch, BMW, Mercedes and Nestlé.
/ 01
Built to cross borders.
Our engineers already work on-site across the US, UK, Germany, and the Nordics - visas, language and travel sorted. They slot into your operation wherever it is, with none of the on-boarding friction.
/ 02
English, EU, and on your side.
Among the strongest English in Europe, full EU and NATO membership, a stable democracy, shared legal frameworks. You brief us the way you would brief your own team - same standards, same working day.
/ 03
A proven talent pool.
Porto and Lisbon already supply engineers to some of Europe`s most demanding industrial and technology projects. You get that same talent pool - as a dedicated team that is yours, not diluted across a giant corporate hub.
/ 04
A pipeline that keeps coming.
10,000+ new STEM graduates a year, and a top-6 OECD ranking for STEM share. Lisbon alone produces around 7,000 engineers annually. The pool keeps refilling - we are not fishing in a drying pond.
/ 05
Value. Optimised.
We optimise the engagement around your programme - senior engineers scaled to each phase, with no idle capacity in between them. The efficiency is structural: it comes from how the work is organised, not from what it costs.
/ 06
Talent that stays.
The team that starts your project is the team that finishes. Low turnover means knowledge stays in the room. No re-learning your programme halfway through, no handover gaps where the detail gets lost.
05 / How We Work
A structured engagement model, built for certainty.
Senior-led from the first call. Four phases. Named deliverables at every gate. No ambiguity about who owns what, or when.
01
Discovery & Scoping
Senior-led intake to define scope, risk and timeline
Clear deliverable mapping from day one
02
Engineering & Design
Nearshore multidisciplinary teams begin detailed design
Regular client checkpoints - no ambiguity
03
On-Site Execution
Commissioning, validation, integration and handover
Senior executive oversight throughout
04
Support & Closure
Training, documentation and support for as long as you need it
Direct accountability all the way to handover
06 / System Integration
One team. RFP to handover.
Most clients hire multiple firms - procurement, coordination, commissioning, design and site supervision. Six contracts, six risk registers, six sets of meetings. We do all six under one roof, with one named lead for each, against one schedule. Fewer hand-offs is fewer places for the programme to break.
