What CEC Project does

CEC Projekt GmbH is a German engineering services firm headquartered in Dessau-Roßlau (Saxony-Anhalt) that delivers consulting, existing-infrastructure analysis, planning, construction monitoring, and digital documentation services for telecommunications and energy supply infrastructure projects. The company serves three core customer segments — energy utilities and grid operators, telecommunications companies (FttH/broadband), and municipal utilities (Stadtwerke) — with additional exposure to pipeline construction and renewable energy developers such as Enertrag, Energiekontor, and Enerparc. Its named customer base spans large national accounts including Deutsche Glasfaser, Vodafone, enercity AG, Sachsenenergie AG, Schleswig-Holstein Netz AG, M-net, Avacon, E.DIS, and Stadtwerke München, as well as municipal and government clients such as Landkreis Rostock and Gemeinde Walddorfhäslach.

The firm's core product portfolio is its "Digital Workplace," comprising three integrated modules: Georeader, a mobile app for field photo documentation with live project tracking; Project Manager, a cloud-based project management tool with role-based access and simultaneous multi-user database access; and the IQGeo Platform, a cloud-native network planning and design tool that enables real-time collaboration between field and office staff. CEC operates this stack via certified partnerships with IQGeo, Comsof (Fiber Designer), and NET Engineering / TKI Chemnitz, combining proprietary in-house tools with partner platforms.

CEC generates revenue through professional services engagements sold via direct enterprise sales targeting utilities, telecommunications providers, and municipalities. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is structured around customised, project-based quotes. The company is privately held — registered as cec projekt GmbH with the Handelsregister at Registergericht Stendal (entry 20141) — and is led by a three-person executive team: Frank Schellenberg (CEO), Nicole Frunzke (CTO), and Lutz Ebermann (CFO). It operates primarily across German federal states including Sachsen-Anhalt, Brandenburg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Schleswig-Holstein, Bavaria, Saxony, Lower Saxony, and Baden-Württemberg, with no disclosed external investors, parent company, or funding rounds.

Core offering

CEC Project provides engineering services for the telecommunications and energy supply sectors, covering consulting, existing infrastructure analysis, planning, construction monitoring and digital documentation across the full project lifecycle. The company complements its engineering services with a Digital Workplace of proprietary tools (Georeader mobile documentation app, Project Manager cloud collaboration platform) and partner-based digital planning platforms (IQGeo, Comsof, NET-Design) used to deliver fiber, broadband and energy grid projects for utilities, telecommunications operators and municipalities in Germany.

Product overview

CEC Project offers engineering services for telecommunications, energy supply, and utility construction, supplemented by a Digital Workplace comprising proprietary and partnered software tools. The core product portfolio includes three interconnected modules: Georeader (mobile photo documentation app), Project Manager (cloud-based project management tool), and IQGeo Plattform (cloud-native network planning and design platform). These tools work together to connect field operations (construction monitoring, documentation) with office planning and project management workflows, enabling real-time collaboration across project stakeholders including construction supervision, authorities, internal teams, and customers.

Broad incumbents

• Ramboll Group: International engineering, architecture, and consulting firm with German operations spanning energy, mobility, and digital infrastructure. Broad incumbent that competes on large infrastructure planning mandates.
• AFRY: Nordic-headquartered global engineering, design, and advisory firm with significant German operations across power, transmission, and telecommunications infrastructure. A broad incumbent with overlapping telecom and energy planning capabilities.
• Sweco AB: Nordic-headquartered engineering consultancy with German offices covering energy, water, and urban infrastructure planning. Overlaps with CEC on grid and infrastructure planning services for utilities and public-sector clients.
• Arcadis Germany: Global design and engineering consultancy with substantial German presence in mobility, energy, and digital infrastructure. A broad incumbent competing for similar utility and public-sector planning engagements.
• COWI A/S: International engineering consultancy with a German presence, active in energy, transport, and digital infrastructure planning. Broad incumbent with overlapping capabilities for telecom and grid planning projects.
• Dorsch International Consultants GmbH: German-headquartered international engineering consultancy covering transport, water, environment, and energy infrastructure. Broad incumbent with comparable planning and supervision services for German infrastructure clients.
• Tractebel Engineering GmbH: German arm of Tractebel (ENGIE group) providing engineering consultancy across energy, water, transport, and urban infrastructure. Overlaps with CEC on energy-grid planning and large-project delivery capabilities.

Emerging players

• IQGeo: Provider of cloud-native network planning software for telecom and utility operators; CEC's named platform partner. Comparable because it targets the same digital-network-planning workflow that anchors CEC's Digital Workplace offering.

Direct peers

• Vössing Ingenieure GmbH: Large German independent engineering consultancy providing planning, design, and construction supervision for rail, road, energy, and telecommunications infrastructure. Closest scale-and-scope comparable for a German engineering services firm serving utilities and telecom operators.

Others

• Comsof: Belgian-based vendor of fiber-optic network design software (Comsof Fiber Designer), a CEC technology partner. Adjacent ecosystem participant rather than a direct competitor, but serves the same German fiber-planning customer base.
