Great projects start
with great teams.
For over 35 years, AGC has supported infrastructure, energy, water and institutional reform programmes across Central and Sub-Saharan Africa.
A firm where engineering
carries weight.
AGC is not a new company. Founded in 1990 as Société Africaine d'Ingénierie, the firm built its experience at the heart of Central Africa, on the region's landmark projects. From 2007 to 2014, integration into the Fichtner GmbH & Co.KG group anchored engineering methods and a project culture that has shaped every engineer trained within our teams.
Since 2015, AGC has continued this trajectory in full independence — with the same rigour, the same standards, the same demands vis-à-vis international funders. Joining AGC means joining an institution that measures itself against Fichtner, Lahmeyer, Tractebel and Sweco on tenders — and has worked alongside them in the field.
What we offer is not an abstract career promise. It is direct exposure to projects that transform African infrastructure.
SAI · 1990 — Founded in Kinshasa. 35 years of continuous presence on the sub-region's major energy and water programmes.
Integration into the German Fichtner group. Technical standards, funder protocols, a rigorous project culture — passed down to every generation of AGC engineers.
Full independence since 1 January 2015. The Fichtner DNA endures; the local footprint is irreplaceable. The firm now operates in 12 Sub-Saharan African countries.
Why join AGC?
Four concrete reasons, no HR talk.
You work on the programmes that shape access to energy, water and basic infrastructure. Not pilot projects — national programmes.
Our teams work for clients financed by the World Bank, AfDB, AFD, KfW and other technical and financial partners. Rare exposure.
Passing on know-how is core to our model. Senior engineers directly mentor junior teams in the field, not from an office.
Kinshasa, Brazzaville, and assignments in 12 Sub-Saharan African countries. Mixed teams, international counterparts, standards that apply everywhere.

What defines us.
Four principles that aren't slogans — they're the reasons international funders have entrusted us with mandates for 35 years.
We recruit experts, not generalists.
AGC works on complex projects, financed by demanding funders. We look for solid technical profiles, able to work in a multicultural environment and deliver outputs to international standards.

Working with international funders.
Our teams regularly work on programmes financed by the World Bank, AfDB, AFD, KfW and other technical and financial partners. Mastery of their procedures — FIDIC, environmental safeguards, institutional reporting — is know-how our engineers have developed and passed down for 35 years.
"Mastering funder procedures isn't learned in a training course. It's built assignment after assignment, alongside teams who have carried it forward for decades."
