The Cayman Island-registered company said the contract underpinned the board's view that full year performance would be in line with current market expectations.
Chief Executive John Spellman said despite a backdrop of macro-economic uncertainty, there continued to be significant opportunities that Fulcrum was well-positioned to secure.
"The contract win is a further endorsement of our renewed business model focused on providing high quality customer service and the expertise to deliver large scale, complex engineering projects," he said.
The business has been undergoing a turnaround strategy since it was bought from the National Grid in July 2010, with the new management trying to change what it called an "inefficient cost base and operating model".
