SCET-TUNISIE

What SCET-TUNISIE does

SCET-TUNISIE is a privately held Tunisian consulting engineering firm founded in 1972, providing multidisciplinary engineering services — studies and design, works supervision, and advisory/technical assistance/institutional support — across the full infrastructure project lifecycle. The firm delivers integrated engineering solutions across nine sector specializations including transportation infrastructure, water and hydraulics, agriculture and rural development, environmental engineering, buildings, energy (including renewable/photovoltaic), urban planning, and capacity building.

The company serves primarily public-sector clients: government ministries, regional development authorities, and international development banks (World Bank, African Development Bank, KfW, AFD, EIB, IsDB, MCC, BADEA, Exim Bank China). Revenue is generated through project-based consulting fees won via competitive tendering and direct contracting for infrastructure projects. Pricing is project-specific with no published standard rate cards.

SCET-TUNISIE operates from its Tunis headquarters with four regional offices established in 2008 — Ivory Coast and Senegal (West Africa), Cameroon (Central Africa), and Kenya (East Africa) — plus additional local presence in Algeria, Libya, and Chad. The firm reports 3,000+ completed projects across 30+ African and European countries, with 75% of 2019 turnover sourced internationally. The business is ISO 9001 certified and frequently partners with European engineering firms (e.g., GOPA Infra GmbH, Sweco GmbH) in joint ventures for multilateral-financed programs.
