Why make DOCAN your engineering consulting firm of choice?
DOCAN brings a combination of technical expertise, best-in-class software and industry experience to help clients on a variety of engineering projects.
The importance of the engineering sector in the United Kingdom is vast, with its jobs making up around 18% of the UK’s total working population (Engineering Council.) It’s the backbone of manufacturing, of transportation – it makes the country tick.
With that in mind, the number of projects underway across the nation at any one time will be huge. There’s a lot of work being done, and there will be situations where projects require external expertise to help see them through. That’s where engineering consultancies come in.
There are a variety of engineering consultancy firms established in the United Kingdom, of which DOCAN are proudly one. Each consultancy brings something different to the table, and today we would like to talk to you about where we fit into that picture.
Hopefully you’ll come away informed on who we are as a company, what we can do, and how we could potentially help you and your project in the future.

Why should you work with engineering consultancy firms?
Before we start dishing out about ourselves as a company, we think it’s important to acknowledge the importance of engineering consulting work outright. There are a lot of great companies doing fantastic work alongside their clients, giving them direct access to an extended list of skills and resources that otherwise would not have been available internally.
What you’ll find with engineering consultancies is that they’ve pieced together a team of combined experience and intelligence, allowing them to work dynamically on a wide range of projects and adjust to the demands of the task – at least, that’s how we have grown over time.
In our line of work we understand that meeting deadlines in a timely manner is critical, as the nature of the industries that rely on engineering dictates that you don’t want to be the blocker. You have to honour quick turnaround times, and any engineering consultancy worth their salt will do exactly that.
Creativity is also a key component for success, and companies will look to engineering consultancies to provide that creative spark in the face of unique engineering challenges that need to be overcome.
We work hard to fit the bill on all of the above, which we will explain in due course – but first, a little about ourselves.
