LONDON, 2 May 2012 - Global construction consultancy Davis Langdon, an AECOM company, today announced that it has appointed Paul Dyson as a Director in its infrastructure sector team.  Dyson will have responsibility for leading Davis Langdon’s project management capability and growing AECOM’s business in this important sector.  He will be working closely with AECOM’s infrastructure engineering arm to explore how AECOM can help clients through its integrated project delivery offer for the infrastructure sector.

Commenting on his appointment, Dyson said, “AECOM has an unmatched multidisciplinary offer which is ideally placed to provide solutions on major infrastructure projects, making it a very exciting business to be part of. I was particularly attracted by the breadth and depth of capabilities within AECOM and the opportunity this gives us to create a really strong, end-to-end service for clients looking to invest in infrastructure.”

“We are currently seeing numerous opportunities in infrastructure throughout Europe, and having talented people like Paul on board will help us grow our business,” said Steve Waltho, Davis Langdon's Managing Director for Europe. “We are delighted that he has chosen to join AECOM.  His wealth of knowledge and experience will be of great benefit as we look to increase our market share.”
