Who we are C.I.G. Group is an engineering and consulting firm specializing in sustainable construction, energy efficiency, and the digital transformation of the built environment. We bring a solid track record of managing large-scale, complex initiatives (including €20M+ frameworks), combining technical depth with rigorous project management and financial oversight.

What we offer (Our Expertise) We develop and implement practice-oriented solutions that perfectly align with the New European Bauhaus core values of sustainability, aesthetics, and inclusion:

  • Digital Transformation: Advanced integration of AI with our startup partner in digital and BIM/HBIM (Heritage Building Information Modeling) for predictive energy performance and the creation of dynamic Digital Twins.

  • Sustainable & N-ZEB Design: Engineering low-carbon, climate-adaptive constructions and conservative restorations using natural/recycled materials and circular water management strategies.

  • Renewable Energy Integration: Designing decentralized systems (geothermal, solar thermal) for historic and modern buildings to combat energy poverty.

  • Project Leadership: Proven capacity to lead and coordinate multi-disciplinary, cross-border projects, ensuring strict quality, time, and budget control.

What we are looking for We are actively seeking to join or form dynamic consortia for the upcoming Horizon Europe NEB Facility calls. We are looking to collaborate with:
