Red Engineer Design is a global leader in complex building design, specialising in the delivery of mission-critical infrastructure for the world’s most data-reliant industries.
Nowhere is this more evident than in the company’s growing presence across the Middle East, where RED has established itself as a trusted partner for high-capacity, sustainable, and AI-ready data centre facilities.
A Record Year in the Middle East
2024 was a record year for RED in the region, marked by significant revenue growth and the successful delivery of multiple large-scale data centre design projects.
During this period, RED strengthened relationships with key clients and established new income streams in KSA and Kuwait—expanding its footprint across the GCC and reinforcing its position as a trusted advisor in mission-critical infrastructure.
Established in Dubai in 2007, RED’s Middle East operation has grown in both scale and capability, supporting the region’s rapid digital transformation. The team continues to deliver world-class engineering consultancy services across the GCC, working closely with major developers, hyperscalers, and colocation providers to meet rising demand for resilient, energy-efficient data centres.
RED’s approach blends global expertise with deep regional knowledge—underpinned by the latest advances in AI integration, energy strategy, and environmental design.
Designing for the AI Era
As Lead Consultants and MEP Engineers on some of the most ambitious data centre projects in the region, RED is known for its ability to balance cutting-edge technology with environmental stewardship.
With a commitment to future-ready infrastructure, the business delivers designs that are both scalable and robust—capable of meeting the operational and environmental demands of an increasingly AI – powered world.
Leadership Driving Excellence
This momentum is sustained by RED’s deeply experienced leadership team. Directors Simon Young and Kenneth Heney remain at the heart of operations in the Middle East, bringing together strategic insight and delivery excellence.
Young’s expertise in client development and sector engagement has helped shape RED’s presence in the region, while Heney—leading project delivery— ensures the consistent execution of high-performance, future-ready designs. Heney’s technical oversight and leadership have been critical in delivering scalable, resilient infrastructure that meets the rigorous demands of the AI era. Together, they continue to strengthen RED’s reputation as a design partner of choice for mission-critical developments across the GCC.
As RED continues to expand its international portfolio, the company remains focused on shaping the future of data centre infrastructure—helping clients navigate the evolving demands of AI, connectivity, and sustainable engineering on a global scale.
The company places strong emphasis on building enduring client partnerships, working not just as consultants, but as long-term strategic allies invested in the success of every project.
