Infrastructure and building design consultancy across highways, water, and renewables
Pell Frischmann is a London-based civil engineering consultancy (501–1,000 staff) with deep expertise in highways, flood resilience, rail, and environmental projects. Their tech stack is dominated by Autodesk tools (AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Revit, Infraworks) and GIS platforms, reflecting traditional infrastructure-design workflows — notably, they show no active technology adoption or replacement activity, suggesting operational stability rather than digital transformation. Hiring is heavily skewed toward engineering (124 of 139 roles), with a senior-heavy seniority mix (53 senior hires), indicating they're scaling expertise-driven delivery rather than entry-level capability.
Pell Frischmann delivers advisory and technical services to public and private clients across built and natural environment sectors. They work on highways schemes (including S278, S38, S104 infrastructure projects), water and sewage upgrades, transport corridor planning, and large-scale renewable developments. The firm operates across the UK and Canada. Their project pipeline reflects heavy involvement in infrastructure compliance work — water quality targets, sewage treatment upgrades, bus priority schemes — with internal friction around budget management, tight delivery deadlines, and workload scaling. Founded in 1926, the firm maintains a consulting model centered on client discovery and long-term relationship delivery rather than product-led growth.
Primarily Autodesk tools (AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Revit, Infraworks), QGIS and GIS platforms, Microsoft 365, and Primavera P6 for project scheduling. No active adoption or replacement programs.
