Engineering consulting firm specializing in MEP design for data centers, hospitals, and airports
Deerns is a 500+ person engineering consulting firm headquartered in The Hague, with offices across Europe, India, and Brazil. The tech stack is dominantly Autodesk (Revit, BIM 360, Naviswork, Civil 3D) and building-physics simulation tools (EnergyPlus, DIALux, ETAP), reflecting a design-and-commissioning operation rather than software development. Active hiring leans heavily toward engineering (103 roles across MEP, HVAC, plant design) with consistent mid-to-senior seniority distribution, and recent project work spans data center builds (Milan hyperscale), hospital HVAC retrofit, and museum infrastructure—all anchored on energy performance and LEED/BREEAM compliance.
Deerns provides technical consulting and engineering design services to airports, hospitals, data centers, laboratories, and commercial real estate developers across Europe, India, and Brazil. The firm operates a project-based delivery model: from concept and design through on-site supervision and post-handover support. Core service lines span mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems; HVAC design for temperature-critical and high-density environments; building-physics and acoustic engineering; and sustainability certification (LEED, BREEAM) for new construction and retrofit projects. The firm has maintained this practice since 1928, with approximately 500 staff distributed across multiple regional offices.
Autodesk suite (Revit, BIM 360, Navisworks, Civil 3D, AutoCAD Plant 3D), building-physics simulation (EnergyPlus, DIALux, ETAP), building controls (BACnet, Modbus, KNX), and productivity tools (Microsoft Office, Project, Azure, Visual Studio).
Active projects include HVAC design for data centers and hospitals, new data center construction in Milan, MEP plant design, museum infrastructure (Boijmans, Amsterdam), and LEED/BREEAM commissioning across European sites.
