ecec has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Siemens Smart Infrastructure.
The agreement expands technical cooperation across key sectors in Saudi Arabia.
These sectors include energy, industry, water, data centers, and MEP projects.
The agreement marks a new step in ecec’s commitment to Saudi Arabia’s energy and industrial future.
It also represents the external face of a broader movement that began with the company’s internal campaign, “You Spoke. We Moved.”
ecec and Siemens Expand Smart Infrastructure Cooperation
ecec is a Saudi Arabia-headquartered engineering consultancy with a long-standing presence in Saudi Arabia.
The company signed the MOU with Siemens Smart Infrastructure to establish long-term technical cooperation.
The collaboration will cover energy, industry, water, data centers, and MEP projects.
The agreement was signed by Hisam Siddiqui, Chief Commercial Officer of ecec.
It was also signed by Markus Grabmeier, CEO of the Electrical Products Business Unit at Siemens Smart Infrastructure.
The MOU combines ecec’s local engineering expertise with Siemens’ smart infrastructure capabilities.
It also connects ecec’s market presence with Siemens’ digital solutions and technologies.
As a result, ecec’s clients will gain access to additional technology solutions.
These clients operate across the energy, industrial, and digital infrastructure sectors.
Previously, these technologies were not offered through ecec’s in-house capabilities.
Smart Infrastructure Saudi Arabia and the Kingdom’s Growth Strategy
The agreement comes as Saudi Arabia continues major development programs across several sectors.
These programs include construction, energy, and infrastructure.
The Kingdom’s development plan has committed more than SAR 12 trillion through 2030.
This represents approximately USD 3.2 trillion in public and private investment.
The investment aims to diversify the economy away from oil dependence.
Meanwhile, construction, energy, and infrastructure remain central pillars of the development strategy.
This scale of investment is creating growing demand for specialized delivery partners.
These partners must understand the Saudi regulatory and construction environment.
They must also provide advanced digital and automation technologies.
This need is becoming increasingly important across major energy and industrial projects.
Therefore, the Siemens MOU is designed to address this growing market requirement.
Local Engineering Expertise Meets Global Technology
Saudi Arabia’s infrastructure ambitions require more than technical capacity.
They also require deep knowledge of the local engineering environment.
At the same time, major projects increasingly require world-class technology.
The Siemens agreement brings these capabilities together.
As a result, the partnership supports projects shaping the Kingdom’s next phase of growth.
Hisam Siddiqui, Chief Commercial Officer of ecec, said:
“THE SIEMENS AGREEMENT DOES NOT STAND ALONE. IT LANDS WITHIN A BROADER REPOSITIONING ECEC HAS BEEN BUILDING.”
“IT IS MEASURED LESS BY REVENUE GROWTH THAN BY HOW MUCH OF THE KINGDOM’S HIGHEST-BARRIER INFRASTRUCTURE THE FIRM CAN SERVE DIRECTLY.”
ecec’s Power & Infrastructure Delivery department already holds active engagements in Saudi Arabia.
These include Saudi Energy’s Projects Development Company and its National Grid.
The department also has several important prequalifications.
These include the National Water Company, SPARK, Principal Buyer, and Saudi Energy Solutions Valley.
In addition, a qualification with Aramco is currently in progress.
This represents a significant level of established market access.
It is especially important in a sector where prequalification alone can take years.
ecec Expands Engineering and Project Delivery Capabilities
Furthermore, ecec has expanded capabilities beyond its internal operations.
Its Business Excellence Office is one example of this approach.
The office was originally created to govern ecec’s internal delivery standards.
Today, it is also available to clients as a structured governance service.
Meanwhile, ecec has developed its Project Management Consultancy and Construction Supervision model, PMCCS.
The model brings project governance and site supervision under a single mandate.
Therefore, clients can access both capabilities without using two separate contracts.
This level of readiness is not new to ecec.
On one of Riyadh’s most significant hospitality and mixed-use developments, ecec achieved a major safety milestone.
Its construction supervision team logged 2.7 million safe manhours with zero lost-time incidents.
Siemens MOU Strengthens ecec’s Smart Infrastructure Strategy
The Siemens MOU extends ecec’s strategy into new technical territory.
It combines ecec’s project delivery capabilities with smart infrastructure technologies.
It also connects construction supervision expertise with digital solutions.
This combination is becoming increasingly important in Saudi Arabia.
Large-scale energy projects require advanced engineering and technology.
Industrial projects require the same combination.
Data infrastructure projects are also becoming increasingly technology-driven.
Therefore, the agreement strengthens ecec’s ability to respond to changing technical requirements.
It also supports the company’s wider strategy for Saudi infrastructure development.
From “You Spoke. We Moved.” to Market-Led Growth
The same trajectory is already visible across ecec’s operations this year.
Earlier in 2026, the company unveiled its newly renovated Cairo engineering hub.
The transformation was introduced under the internal campaign “You Spoke. We Moved.”
The campaign represented a direct response to feedback from ecec’s engineers.
Now, the company is applying the same principle externally.
Having responded to its people, ecec is now responding to market demand.
The Siemens agreement forms part of this broader positioning shift.
It reflects a strategy focused on the changing needs of Saudi Arabia’s infrastructure market.
ecec’s Next Phase of Growth in Saudi Arabia
The MOU marks ecec’s latest step in this broader strategy. The company aims to match the scale of Saudi Arabia’s infrastructure development.
It also aims to address the increasing complexity of major projects. This strategy is already visible across several areas. These include expanding sector access and widening the company’s service offering.
Now, it also includes a technology partnership with Siemens Smart Infrastructure. The partnership is positioned to support the next phase of ecec’s growth.
It further strengthens the company’s role in Saudi Arabia’s energy and industrial future.
