Mott MacDonald<\/a> has appointed Owen Davies as a project principal within its highways team in Wales, Davies brings with him 20 years of experience in the transport sector<\/h2>\n

Based in Cardiff, Davies will be responsible for the oversight and governance of a portfolio of roads projects and for further developing the consultancy\u2019s offering<\/a> throughout Wales and the wider UK.<\/p>\n

A chartered professional engineer of the Institution of Engineers Australia and a fellow of Roads Australia, Davies has overseen a number of nationally significant infrastructure projects<\/a> in New South Wales, taking them all the way through from bid phase to detail design delivery.<\/p>\n

In the early 2010s, Davies was responsible for spearheading the delivery of a new form of collaborative contract, which is now the industry standard across Australia. Davies was also the project manager for the design and build of the Pacific Highway upgrade from Tintenbar to Ewingsdale.<\/p>\n

Providing a\u00a0new perspective<\/h3>\n

Owen Davies said: “The opportunities in Wales and beyond are very exciting. I will look to provide a new perspective to help our team win, continue to deliver excellence and meet the challenge our clients face.<\/p>\n

\u201cI look forward to being part of Mott MacDonald and working with colleagues who share the same values as myself around social value<\/a> and sustainable solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n

John D\u2019Arcy, Mott MacDonald\u2019s UK managing director for highways, said: \u201cWe are delighted that in relocating back to Wales from Australia, Owen has chosen to join us in a senior role in our highways team.<\/p>\n

\u201cOwen brings huge experience in leading major client accounts and the delivery of major projects. He is passionate about the sector and the opportunities to safely meet the needs of current and future road users. Owen will use all of his international experience to play a leading role in roads projects in Wales and the wider UK that create improved social outcomes for our communities.\u201d<\/p>\n
