AMEC is an engineering, project management and consultancy company.

In 1982 Fairclough Construction merged with William Press (founded in 1913) to form AMEC plc. Six years later the Matthew Hall Group of Companies was incorporated into the AMEC Group.

In Canada, AMEC's roots date back to more than 100 years ago. In 1907 the Montreal Engineering Company was incorporated, and was in business for over 85 years before being acquired by AGRA in 1992. AMEC then bought this business in 2000.
