What New Engineering Services (ness) does

NESS Ingénierie (legal entity SAS NESS, RCS 842 825 507) is a French boutique consulting firm specializing in industrial project management, founded in 2018 by Yonni Benibgui and headquartered in Levallois-Perret, Île-de-France. The firm sells advisory and staffing services to large French enterprises in three verticals — Transport (notably rail), Energy (conventional and transition), and Building/Infrastructure — with disclosed marquee clients including RATP, ENGIE Solutions, Storengy, GRTgaz, Bouygues Construction, and Colas. It cites 500+ projects and 30+ client companies across roughly 10 years of activity.

The service portfolio is organized into organizational consulting (project management frameworks, audits, change management), operational consulting (planning, cost control, PMO, OPC, risk/contract management, aMOA/aMOE), and training. Service delivery runs through three graduated engagement models — individual Operational Assistance (Assistance Technique), Skills Center / Competency Center teams, and Service Center with fixed-fee deliverables — backed by expertise in third-party project management tools (Primavera P6, MS Project, Planisware, Power BI, TILOS) and the Earned Value Management methodology. The firm also resells and implements Primavera and MS Project software.

Commercially, NESS runs a sales-led, enterprise field-sales motion managed by an Ingénieur d'affaires who prospects, responds to tenders, and negotiates engagements. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; contracts are negotiated per engagement. Operations are domestic, Île-de-France-only, with no disclosed revenue, no external funding rounds, and a registered capital of only €5,000 indicating a bootstrapped, founder-controlled structure. ISO 9001 quality follow-up is referenced as part of the standard service workflow.
