Company Description

Assystem is an international company with one mission: accelerate the energy transition around the world.

Finding solutions to climate change is the priority of the 21st century, and means switching to low-carbon energy. At Assystem, our mission is to accelerate the energy transition worldwide. To achieve this, our 7,500 Switchers combine their historical engineering expertise and project management with digital technologies.

In our 12 countries (Europe, Middle East, Asia) of operation, we are working on the production and distribution of low-carbon electricity, through the development of nuclear and renewable energies. We are also supporting the modernisation and development of energy grids, managing the setup and siting for new transmission and distribution networks, and using hydrogen to decarbonise the transport and industry sectors.

The UK government has made a pledge to reach carbon neutrality by 2050 and, as such, is pushing ahead with significant investment in nuclear and renewable energies.

Assystem, as a leading provider of project management, design & construction supervision services within the nuclear industry, has aligned its own strategy to support this switch to low-carbon energy, whilst also recognising transport and infrastructure systems to be a major factor in influencing the outcome of government policy.

By acquiring Schofield Lothian in 2021 and Logikal in 2023, now collectively operating as our Project Management & Consulting (PM&C) Business Unit, Assystem reaffirmed their commitment to the UK’s energy transition in combining strengths with long-established providers of consultancy services to the transport and infrastructure sectors, through the delivery of sustainable performance improvements within the following practice areas: Consents & Engagement; Commercial Management; Project Management; Environmental Services; Planning & Project Controls; Risk Management and Business Intelligence.
