Argentina

Global Company, Local Knowledge

Knight Piésold is a global consulting company founded in 1921, dedicated to providing specialized services to the power, mining, infrastructure, and water resources industries. Operating in Argentina since 2005, we have maintained steady growth, driven by the technical quality of our services and the commitment of our team. Currently, we have over 250 professionals, including engineers, technicians, and other specialists, who offer comprehensive solutions tailored to large-scale mining, power, and oil and gas projects.

Our first office was established in the city of San Juan in 2005. Later, the Mendoza office was opened in the department of Godoy Cruz in 2007. From that point forward, the company embarked on a strategic expansion, opening new offices in Santa Cruz in 2022 and in Salta in 2023. Our presence throughout Argentina is the result of a vision focused on strengthening our relationship with clients, delving into the environment of operation sites, and promoting technical capabilities to face the challenges of each asset.

EPCM Service and Comprehensive Approach

As a company that provides Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management (EPCM) services, Knight Piésold is involved in every stage of the project’s lifecycle—from the prefeasibility stage and conceptual design to the engineering, construction, operation and closure of the mine. This comprehensive approach, combined with structured methods, is based on effective risk management, efficient use of resources, and informed, technical decision-making.  This enables us to meet deadlines, manage costs, maintain the project's scope, and adhere to quality standards, while providing robust, lasting solutions tailored to each project's unique context.

Specialized Engineering Services

Knight Piésold approaches engineering using a multidisciplinary perspective and a system of integrated solutions, oriented to meet the needs of different industries. The company has an experienced team of professionals across disciplines, such as civil, electromechanical, hydraulic, hydrological, and hydrogeological engineering, as well as proven expertise in the supervision, inspection, and quality control of materials and works as part of our Management Quality Assurance and Construction Quality Assurance technical services.

Environmental Services

Knight Piésold also offers environmental technical assistance throughout all phases of the project, guided by a sustainable vision aiming at achieving regulatory compliance. Our services include environmental and social impact assessments, conceptual and detailed closure plans, environmental baseline studies, environmental monitoring, archaeological and paleontological studies, environmental management plans, and technical support in core stages of connection with communities and regulatory bodies.

Technical Strength and Regional Trajectory

Knight Piésold’s technical strength arises from years of participation in the most relevant mining projects in the region. Our strategic clients continue trusting our capacity to professionally meet the highest standards of the industry. Along with our strong presence in the Latin American market, Knight Piésold provides active support to other offices in the Knight Piésold Group for projects in Africa, Asia, and Central America, and collaborates with operational leaders in the oil and gas industry in Argentina and the region.

Management System and Corporate Culture

Knight Piésold operates under an internationally certified Integrated Management System to support compliance with contractual, technical, and regulatory requirements. This system includes three certifications: ISO 9001 for quality management, ISO 14001 for environmental management, and ISO 45001 for occupational health and safety. These support efficiency, traceability, and adherence to best practices in our operations.

One of our basic tenets is the central position of people. At Knight Piésold, we understand that our team’s well-being, motivation, and growth are fundamental conditions to achieve sustainability of projects. This mission drives us to constantly work on solidifying our internal policies, enhancing our total compensation system, and encouraging a fair, collaborative, and challenging work environment. Knight Piésold also features a Great Place to Work certification and is recognized as one of the best companies to work for in Argentina, reflecting our commitment to promote a corporate culture that prioritizes those who make every achievement possible.
