Countries with SECCO offices — Somalia, South Sudan and Kenya
01 Who we are
A total engineering solutions company, rooted in Somalia.
SECCO is headquartered in Mogadishu with a regional office in Juba, South Sudan, a support office in Nairobi, Kenya, and field offices in Hargeisa, Garowe, Baidoa, Kismayo and Jowhar.
We are among the few firms in the region able to deliver every aspect of construction and its related services under one roof — combining international standards with local knowledge, so that clients deal with one accountable partner rather than a chain of contractors.
- Engineering & construction — design-to-handover delivery across six disciplines
- Supply of goods & manpower — procurement, logistics and skilled labour
- Asset leasing — short- and long-term plant and equipment
02 What we deliver
Six disciplines. One accountable partner.
From a district hospital to a borehole at a forward base, we mobilise our own teams, plant and supply chain to build it to specification, safely and on programme.

Explore03 Delivery in demanding locations
We deliver where access is hardest.
Many of our assignments sit well beyond the capital — at remote forward operating bases, in district towns and rural communities across Somalia and South Sudan, where logistics, distance and weather leave little room for error.
Field offices and our own crews, plant and supply chain allow rapid mobilisation, so projects keep moving and reach handover to the standard the client specified.
