Engineering and management consulting for industrial projects in energy, mining, and petrochemicals
SANDECH is an engineering consulting firm founded in 2008 by chemical and mechanical engineers from UFRJ, now a 201–500-person firm based in Rio de Janeiro focused on high-complexity industrial projects. The tech stack reveals a design-heavy, project-delivery operation: CAD (AutoCAD, Plant 3D, Revit), 3D modeling (AVEVA E3D, Intergraph Smart 3D, SolidWorks), simulation (ANSYS, Femap), and ERP/project controls (SAP S/4HANA, Oracle Primavera P6, Microsoft Project). Active hiring across engineering roles and adoption of Revit and Navisworks indicate a shift toward integrated 3D design workflows and real-time project visualization — a response to pain points around resource leveling, bottleneck identification, and cross-discipline coordination in large offshore and brownfield projects.
SANDECH delivers engineering and project management consulting for chemical, petrochemical, oil, mining, pulp & paper, and energy sectors across Brazil. The firm operates on a model that bridges technical engineering design (piping, FPSO/FPU platforms, critical offshore systems, cleanroom design) with management and scheduling disciplines — treating each engagement as both an engineering and operational problem. Current project work spans brownfield rehabilitation, offshore platform engineering, control system design, and Petrobras template customization. The organization operates with engineering as its core driver (47 of 53 active roles), supported by small HR and ops functions.
SANDECH uses AutoCAD, Plant 3D, AVEVA E3D, ANSYS, SAP S/4HANA, Oracle Primavera P6, and Microsoft Project as core tools. The firm is actively adopting Revit and Navisworks for 3D design and project visualization workflows.
SANDECH serves chemical, petrochemical, oil, mining, pulp & paper, and energy industries. Active project work includes FPSO/FPU platforms, offshore engineering, brownfield projects, and industrial piping design.
