Completion of the integration of Faber Maunsell in to the US-headquartered AECOM Group has seen the UK company restructured and rebranded to be Aecom Ltd.
Faber Maunsell was established over 2001-2 when Aecom bought the firms Oscar Faber and Maunsell. The business continued to grow, including by acquisition, and had three business division with the tunnelling activities in the transportation division. Following the full integration, Ken Dalton, the chief executive of Faber Maunsell, will become chief executive of Aecom Europe, which is a new position.
A series of other European units of the Aecom group have also been rebranded as part of the wider integration process. The restructure has seen the locally-based, but often globally reaching various firms move into a matrix management structure along both business and geographical lines. No job losses result from the changes.
Remaining in transportation, the tunnelling activities of Aecom Ltd are now part of the global management matrix. Aecom is part of the Transcend JV that recently was awarded the Programme Partner contract on Crossrail, and it is involved in the expansion of the 2nd Ave Subway in New York.
