AECOM, the global infrastructure services firm, has appointed Richard Mann as director of its building engineering healthcare practice in the UK and Ireland.

A chartered engineer, Mann (pictured) has worked at AECOM for over 20 years. His healthcare experience has included acting as project principal on schemes such as the new Clatterbridge Cancer Centre in Liverpool and the King Edward Memorial Hospital in Bermuda.

Jonathan Puddle, AECOM’s head of healthcare for UK and Ireland, said: “Our talented building engineering team is currently working on some of the UK’s most advanced healthcare projects including the £353 million Midland Metropolitan Hospital and Wales’ new Specialist & Critical Care Centre (SCCC).

“The team is a vital component of AECOM’s integrated healthcare offer and Richard’s appointment in this key growth role is further evidence of our investment in the UK and Ireland’s healthcare sector.”
