The plan to double the size of the business this year builds upon the existing construction services being provided to National Grid.

The Birmingham-based business will continue to offer EPC services, with the newly-formed construction group now seeking to deliver multiple services to the UK energy and low carbon infrastructure market.

Nick Busby is promoted from UK operations director to lead the group as director of construction operations

Jonathan Chapman, managing director at Burns & McDonnell UK said: “Our UK business has grown rapidly since launching in 2017, and we need to adapt to accommodate this growth, while providing full-service solutions that address our clients’ engineering and construction challenges.

“The Construction Group’s increased presence marks a milestone in our growth. I’m excited about the new business it will generate and look forward to continuing my support of Nick in his new role as he leads his team toward a dynamic future.”

Burns & McDonnell is a private, employee-owned engineering, design and construction firm with 7,600 professionals located in offices throughout the world.
