Project Invest

What Project Invest does

Project Invest AS is a Norwegian industrial project management and engineering consultancy headquartered in Porsgrunn, founded in 2001. The firm delivers services across the full project lifecycle — from feasibility studies and concept development through detailed engineering, procurement support, project management, and commissioning — to process-industry clients. Its stated customer base includes major Norwegian and international operators and EPC contractors such as Equinor, Yara, Borealis, Bilfinger, Elkem, Norcem, and Jotun, spanning oil & gas, petrochemicals, fertilizers, metals, cement, and coatings.

The company operates a hybrid staff-plus-network model, with a small core team (11-50 employees) supported by a roster of more than 20 named senior consultants averaging 30-50+ years of domain experience across disciplines including process, safety, electrical/instrumentation, civil/structural, project controls, and commissioning. This structure allows Project Invest AS to flex capacity into multi-discipline engagements without carrying a large junior pyramid. The firm cites "the strength of a good reputation" as its primary marketing channel and reports that customers tend to extend contracts based on delivered results.

Commercially, Project Invest AS is privately held with no external funding rounds disclosed. Revenue is generated through quote-based, project-based professional services contracts with enterprise clients. Operating geographies include Norway and Qatar, and the firm holds a Sellihca qualification and Certificate of Qualification, which formalize access to Norwegian industrial supply chains. The company is founder-led and privately held, with no public financial disclosure.

Broad incumbents

• Worley: Global engineering and project services provider for energy, chemicals and resources. Comparable to Project Invest in delivering process-engineering and project-management consulting to oil & gas, petrochemical and fertilizer owners across multiple geographies.
• Aker Solutions: Large Norwegian provider of engineering, project management and execution services to oil & gas, hydrogen and CCS projects. Comparable to Project Invest in delivering process-industry project expertise to Norwegian operators (including Equinor), though at a far larger scale and with EPC delivery capabilities.
• Multiconsult: Norwegian engineering consulting firm delivering project management, technical design and advisory across energy, process industry and infrastructure. Direct overlap with Project Invest's industrial-project consulting scope and Norwegian customer base, with a much larger headcount.
• Rambøll (Ramboll): Nordic-headquartered engineering, consulting and project management firm with deep process-industry and energy practices. Comparable to Project Invest in serving oil & gas, fertilizers and infrastructure clients with project and engineering advisory services, but operates at vastly greater scale.
• DNV: Norwegian classification and assurance/consulting group with energy and process-industry advisory. Overlaps with Project Invest in technical due diligence, risk evaluations and HAZOP/HAZID services for industrial and energy clients in Norway and globally.
• Sweco: Nordic engineering and design consultancy covering infrastructure, energy and process industries. Comparable to Project Invest in serving Scandinavian industrial project owners, though Sweco's portfolio is broader and includes built-environment work.
• AFRY (formerly Pöyry): Nordic-rooted engineering and consulting firm with strong process-industry, fertilizer and pulp & paper practices. Comparable to Project Invest's expertise in fertilizers, chemicals and industrial project advisory, especially with Pöyry's historical Yara/Yara-related engagement profile.
• TechnipFMC (now Technip Energies): Global engineering and technology company focused on energy projects including LNG, hydrogen, ethylene and fertilizers. Comparable to Project Invest's process-engineering and project-execution support for energy and chemical operators, with overlapping fertilizer (e.g., Yara-adjacent) expertise.
