Mott MacDonald has appointed former HS2 Engineering Director Chris Dulake as its major projects portfolio director.

The consultancy has confirmed to HS2 that Mr Dulake will not be involved in the organisation's current procurement process.

With nearly 30 years' experience as a civil engineer, Mr Dulake has worked on major infrastructure projects around the world, most recently on Phase 1 of HS2.


Beforehand, he spent seven years as chief engineer on the Crossrail project.

In his new role, Mr Dulake will play a leading role engaging with customers and positioning Mott MacDonald for major United Kingdom and international infrastructure projects.

Mike Haigh, Mott MacDonald Group board director, said: "Chris is a fantastic appointment for us as he has great insight into the priorities for clients undertaking major infrastructure projects. He will be a hugely valuable resource for our staff due to his vast experience and our clients can only benefit from his knowledge to help realise their project ambitions."

Mr Dulake will join Mott MacDonald in May.
