Petignat & Cordoba

What Petignat & Cordoba does

Petignat & Cordoba Ingénieurs conseils SA is a privately held Swiss civil engineering consultancy founded in 1970 and headquartered in Montreux, Switzerland. The firm delivers multidisciplinary structural and civil engineering services across buildings, civil engineering structures (bridges, pedestrian walkways), ski lifts, road works, urban planning developments, factories, pumping stations, and boats. Its technical scope spans diverse construction materials including reinforced and prestressed concrete, steel, aluminum, wood, composites, and carbon fibers, requiring engineers capable of working across radically different project typologies.

The firm's core offering is project-based engineering consulting—project management, technical solution design, structural conception and dimensioning, tender preparation, and technical/financial project monitoring. Engagements are delivered against Swiss SIA norms using standard structural calculation tools (SCIA, Cubus) and project software (Messerli). The firm serves a mix of public-sector clients (Commune d'Oron, Vaud and Valais cantons), ski resorts and tourism operators (Glacier 3000, Télésiège Conche–Les Diablerets), and industrial/corporate clients (Nestlé at La Tour-de-Peilz, ECAVENIR Lausanne).

The revenue model is professional services, with quote-based, project-specific pricing negotiated per engagement. The go-to-market is direct enterprise/field sales: long-term relationships with municipalities, public entities, and private companies, with project sourcing through competitive tendering for public-sector work and direct negotiation for private engagements. The firm is small (currently recruiting one civil engineer) and states intent to pursue projects of scale in Switzerland and internationally. No revenue, funding, or headcount figures are publicly disclosed.
