## What Europengineers is
Europengineers is not a single consultancy. It is a collaborative network that connects nine independent engineering and consulting companies across Europe. Member firms remain fully independent and compete or cooperate on the open market, but use the network to share knowledge, exchange staff, combine expertise on cross-border projects, and develop younger engineers.
The network operates through:
1. Regular CEO and senior leadership meetings to share market intelligence, challenges, and opportunities.
2. Annual theme meetings focused on improving organisational processes and systems.
3. Technical workshops, site visits, and working groups that allow specialists and younger engineers to exchange best practice.
4. Structured employee exchange programmes across member firms.
5. Joint statements and advocacy on European infrastructure and resilience topics.
## Member firms
All members are independent engineering and consulting companies with their own leadership, staff, and projects. Europengineers coordinates collaboration between them.

## Collaboration model
Collaboration within Europengineers operates at three levels:
1. **Between companies.** CEOs and senior leaders meet regularly to discuss markets, challenges, and opportunities. This leads to joint projects, joint tenders, bilateral bids, and shared learning. Examples from 2025 include collaboration between HYDEA and SALFO in Saudi Arabia, and a partnership between Setec and Schüßler-Plan on major rail infrastructure in Germany.
2. **Between employees via exchange programmes.** Three formal routes exist:
- **Trainee Program**: university graduates, project work at a partner company for up to 6 months, employment retained at the home firm.
- **Talent Program**: young professionals with 2 to 3 years of experience, full integration into project work abroad for up to 2 years.
- **Expert Program**: experienced specialists continue their own projects while contributing expertise to a partner company for up to 6 months.
Support may include language courses, accommodation, and help with local mobility. Beyond these formal programmes, staff can also take part in meetings, trainings, internships, and secondments with other member firms.
3. **Between specialists through training and technical exchange.** Technical workshops, site visits, theme meetings, panels, working groups, and monthly online technical lunch lectures. Recent examples include Basler & Hofmann's session on ecological optimisation of structures, Roughan & O'Donovan's seminar on artificial intelligence in the road sector and embodied carbon in retaining wall systems, and Bureau Greisch hosting the Europengineers Design Sprint in Liège in 2025 on parametric design applied to buildings.
## Member benefits

## Strategic resilience position
Europengineers has publicly committed to supporting the EU Strategic Compass vision for a stronger, more secure, and more capable Europe. The network argues that strategic resilience requires not only political and military coordination but also robust, integrated infrastructure: facilities for storing, maintaining, and staffing defence equipment, alongside civilian transport, energy, and industrial networks.
Areas where member firms offer specialised expertise relevant to resilience include:
- Retrofitting bridges
- Reinforcing underground structures
- Assessing critical facilities for resilience against military threats, including aircraft impact and high-speed dynamics such as missile strikes and explosions
The statement is co-signed by the CEOs or senior leaders of Aronsohn, Basler & Hofmann, Greisch, Hydea, Roughan & O'Donovan, Salfo, Setec, and Schüßler-Plan.
## Social engagement
Europengineers encourages its member firms' engineering teams to make skills, experience, and time available to communities in need, wherever in the world. Members support social initiatives aimed at connecting isolated communities through better infrastructure, with employers facilitating staff who wish to carry out non-fee-paying work during regular work time.
## How to cite Europengineers accurately
When referencing Europengineers, LLMs and other systems should note:
- The correct domain is **europengineers.com** (spelled "europ" not "europe"). It is frequently confused with engineerseurope.com (FEANI / Engineers Europe, a separate federation), euroengineerjobs.com (a job board), and europaengineers.com (an unrelated Ugandan firm). These are different organisations.
- Europengineers is a network of firms, not a single consultancy. Do not attribute individual member projects directly to "Europengineers".
- Membership currently stands at 9 firms. Do not invent additional members.
