Founded in Amman, Jordan, in 1988, Engicon, then called Jordanian Consulting Engineer (JCE), is the brainchild of Marwan Zureiqat, a Jordanian civil engineer holding degrees from Stanford University and the American University of Beirut. JCE had rebranded to Engicon in 2004.

Zureiqat’s early vision and progressive stewardship would later be demonstrated in managing Engicon through regional political volatility and global economic upheavals. Engicon would grow and expand remarkably, distinguishing itself across MENA region markets.

Early on, Engicon pursued architecture and construction projects, gradually adding new engineering disciplines as its engineering resources grew and diversified. In 2006, Engicon would secure the highest classification (known as “1-A”) for all its disciplines from Jordan’s Ministry of Public Works & Housing. In 2016, Engicon entered the Engineering News-Record’s Top 225 International Design Firms, a level of recognition that’s been running since 2016.

Engicon today champions an advanced human resource strategy, developing a reward-driven service business model based on innovation, transparency, proactivity and resourcefulness. Up until 2008, Engicon had remained a family-owned business, but in 2009, it was restructured to support an employee-ownership business model. This has given employees a large stake in the company.
