22. Hellenic Business Awards 2026 Standing as a beacon of innovative, effective, and competitive engineering solutions, JEPA S.A. is an international, multidisciplinary firm founded in Greece in 1981. Across its 45-year journey in this space, the company has blossomed into a leading engineering practice, having completed more than 3,000 projects for over 1,000 clients. As the consultancy is named in the Hellenic Business Awards 2026, Manolis Papagrigorakis, a partner at JEPA, was on hand to tell us more about its work. Based in Athens, JEPA S.A. specialises in mechanical, electrical, and public health (MEP) engineering. Underpinning its work is a focus on sustainability and energy consulting, safety and security, technical due diligence, and renewable energy. This meticulous blend guides services delivered at every stage of a project’s lifecycle, with JEPA covering consulting, design, supervision, commissioning, and project management across a range of sectors. Today, JEPA’s work spans mission-critical data centre engineering, transport and infrastructure, industrial and manufacturing facilities, hotels and resorts, healthcare and sports facilities, cultural and educational buildings, mixed-use developments, and builds relating to renewable energy. Such diversity across its projects means that its clients range from developers and investors through to major corporations, architects, contractors, public authorities, international technology companies, and many more. “We are particularly experienced in large, technically demanding projects where reliability, energy efficiency, and multidisciplinary coordination are critical.” Guided across its work by a focus on people and commitments to excellence, continuous learning, ongoing improvement, and sustainability, JEPA seeks more than just engineering buildings and infrastructure, and instead prides itself on creating solutions that perform, stand the test of time, and make positive contributions in the lives of people and communities. These principles, alongside its mission to pioneer engineering solutions that inspire progress and sustainable development, have been the driving forces behind work on landmark developments across Greece and beyond. Highlights of its portfolio include the Acropolis Museum, Thessaloniki International Airport, and the DEI (PPC) Headquarters. In the world of data centre MEP design and engineering, JEPA has extensive experience delivering complex, mission-critical facilities, having worked with major hyperscalers, leading data centre developers, and government entities across the data centre sector. Whilst its breadth is undeniably impressive, the greatest achievement for JEPA is the continuity behind these projects. Manolis told us: “We have remained at the forefront of our profession for more than 45 years, while continually adapting to new technologies, sustainability requirements, and increasingly complex engineering challenges. In data centres alone, for example, JEPA has delivered more than 100 projects worldwide.” Behind every one of these projects is the mix of 45 years of experience and new generations of engineers who bring fresh technologies, methodologies, and ideas into the business. This blend of experience and innovation is a valuable asset that offers clients an integrated perspective. As engineering, sustainability, energy performance, security, due diligence, and other specialist requirements increasingly overlap, being able to understand them all helps JEPA to discover problems earlier and create efficient solutions. On the back of this, Manolis explained: “People are JEPA’s greatest asset, and our culture is built around collaboration, continuous development, shared technical knowledge, and a strong commitment to quality. Our commitment to creating a positive and rewarding working environment has been independently recognised through our Great Place to Work certification, which JEPA has maintained continuously since 2025.” This reflects a company with a focus that is firmly on the next generation of engineering challenges, one that continues to drive progress and look for the next big thing, even with 3,000+ projects and a 45-year legacy under its belt. Since data centres are popping up more and more, both Greece and worldwide, this is one area in particular where JEPA hopes to develop, leveraging its long-standing expertise to remain relevant. Elaborating, Manolis said: “We see data centres becoming increasingly important as demand for digital infrastructure continues to accelerate. The growth of cloud services, artificial intelligence, and increasingly data-intensive applications is creating a new generation of facilities with greater requirements for power capacity, cooling, resilience, energy efficiency, and operational reliability. These are precisely the types of complex engineering challenges where JEPA’s multidisciplinary experience can add significant value.” As these data centre engineering consultants in Greece continue to raise the bar in this area, setting a new standard for sustainable, energy-efficient data centre design as they go, we wish them the best of luck for the future. For now, all that is left is for us to celebrate JEPA S.A. as the Mission Critical Engineering Consultancy of the Year 2026. Contact: Manolis Papagrigorakis Company: JEPA S.A.
