What JACOPS NV does

JACOPS NV is a family-owned Belgian infrastructure services company headquartered in Deerlijk, with over 50 years of operating history and 501–1,000 employees. The firm operates across six integrated service divisions — Design & Engineering, Energy & Utilities, Telecom, Infra & Traffic, Rail, and Building Indoor Solutions (BIS) — delivering multi-disciplinary electromechanical projects for public-sector and enterprise clients. Named customers include telecom operators Proximus and Telenet, rail infrastructure operator Infrabel, utility Fluvius, and government entities such as the City of Gent, Vlaamse Waterway, and the Oosterweel road connection project.

Revenue is generated through professional-services engagements covering design, engineering, construction, installation, and maintenance of infrastructure systems, priced per project under service-level agreements. Visible contract scale includes a €2.78 million dynamic traffic guidance system for the City of Gent (50 LED signs) and a 100+ km cabling, 36 km fiber, 300+ device Infrabel third/fourth track project between Beernem and Brugge. An autonomous in-house engineering department brings large projects to fruition without external dependencies, while the JACOPS Academy sustains internal technical and safety training. Pre-qualification for public tenders is supported by ISO 9001-2015, VCA**, ISO 14001, ECOVADIS, and CO2 Performance Ladder certifications across multiple Belgian branch locations.

Distribution is exclusively direct enterprise field sales, with contracts won through public tenders and direct principal engagement; go-to-market is B2B and government-focused with long sales cycles and complex technical presentations. Operations are concentrated in Belgium, with coverage of Flanders from headquarters (Deerlijk) and certified branches in Drongen, Zedelgem, Linter, and Vilvoorde, and Wallonia through wholly-owned subsidiary JACOPS SUD SA in Gosselies. Strategic technology partnerships — including Be-Mobile (traffic software), Q-lite (LED displays), Vameco & Vandezande (hydraulic/mechanical), Infrasoft (control software), and GeoDynamics (data sub-processing) — extend capabilities across integrated project delivery.
