The history of SAJDI dates back to 1974, with the establishment of the Consulting Engineering center (CEC) in Amman, By Eng. Aziz Abdo Sajdi, with a focus on a laboratory for materials and soil investigations. Eventually, the company expanded its scope of services to include engineering consultancy. Later in the 1980s-1990s, under the management of Eng. Izzat Sajdi, they grew into a multidisciplinary company providing engineering consulting services in areas such as Water, Sanitation, and Infrastructure Projects. During the late 1990s, the company operated in different countries within the African and Asia with projects funded by institutions like the World Bank, KfW, BADEA, and the Islamic Development Bank.
