Independent engineering consultancy for energy transition and industrial decarbonization
Fichtner is a UK-based engineering consultancy operating across industrial, renewable energy, power, and waste management sectors. The org is engineering-focused with predominantly senior-level hiring concentrated in the UK and Ireland, reflecting a stable consulting model rather than rapid scaling. Active project work spans decarbonization, carbon capture, solar, wind, and hydrogen—signals of deep specialization in energy transition rather than horizontal consulting.
Fichtner Consulting Engineers Ltd operates as part of a global independent consultancy group founded in 1922 with over 2,000 staff across 100+ countries. The UK entity, independent since 1991, employs staff across four offices: Stockport, Glasgow, Dublin, and Belfast. The consultancy serves developers, finance teams, and governmental authorities with technical advisory and project management services in thermal power, renewable energy, industrial decarbonization, and waste management. The firm maintains in-house engineering programs and emphasizes impartial advisory independent of equipment supply or contracting influence.
Fichtner uses Primavera P6 for project management, Microsoft 365 and Office suite (Word, Excel, Power BI), Power Apps, Power Automate, Azure Logic Apps, SharePoint, Dynamics 365, Business Central, and SQL Server. PRINCE2 methodology is also in use.
Projects include thermal power plants in Ireland, carbon capture and storage systems, industrial decarbonization, solar PV farms, wind installations, hydrogen initiatives, and maintenance and development of in-house engineering software programs.
