Engineering Competence for a Changing Energy Future
Engineering Competence for a Changing Energy Future
ECI-Hub provide specialist consultancy and training helping high-hazard industries strengthen competence, safety and compliance.
We support organisations operating in complex, regulated, and energy-critical environments, delivering both technical consultancy and training solutions that build confidence and capability.
Our team combines deep engineering experience with innovative learning design to help clients meet the challenges of industrial transformation — from legacy asset safety to digital-era skills development.
Our Purpose
To improve competence and confidence across the engineering workforce through evidence-based training and consultancy that make safety and compliance part of everyday operations.
- We exist to help organisations adapt to change:
- New technologies and energy systems
- Emerging workforce skills and mobility requirements
- The increasing need for measurable competence assurance
Our goal is to make safe, competent performance achievable and sustainable at every level of an organisation.
Our Vision
Our Approach
We bridge engineering authority, learning science, and digital innovation to deliver solutions that close the gap between knowledge and practice.
- Engineering Authority – grounded in IEC 60079, IEC 61511, DSEAR, and ATEX standards.
- Learning Science – structured programmes that promote understanding, retention, and confident application.
- Digital Innovation – immersive 3D, VR, and digital twin technologies that bring high-risk scenarios to life safely.
Every project begins with a clear understanding of your site, people, and processes — ensuring our recommendations are practical, measurable, and enduring.
