ARCHITECTURE, engineering and sustainability consultancy Ramboll has bolstered its transport infrastructure offering with two senior apointments.
Graeme Dodds has been named director of urban & transport planning, while Mark Baynham becomes market director, highways.
Mark joins from Mott MacDonald and has previously served as a civil servant in the cabinet office. He has over 36 years of experience in the sector. Whilst based predominantly in Scotland, he has also led highways and defence infrastructure projects and operating services across the UK, Ireland, mainland Europe, and Australasia.
Graeme is an experienced project director who joins Ramboll following 29 years at Jacobs. He will be tasked with helping to drive growth across the advisory market and enhance delivery for new and existing clients.
The appointments will also support Ramboll’s growing presence in Scotland following a series of project wins north of the border.
Ann Gordon, transport market director, said, “It’s a pleasure to welcome Mark and Graeme to the business. At Ramboll, we recognise that resilient transport systems have an increasingly important part to play in the future of our local communities and national economy. Mark and Graeme bring with them stellar reputations as leaders and infrastructure experts and will play key roles in delivering the smart, sustainable solutions our clients expect, in Scotland and beyond.”
Mark Baynham added, “I am very much looking forward to stepping into this new role to support the growth of Ramboll’s highways business across the UK and Ireland, supporting our clients to develop and deliver policies that maximise the value of existing transport assets in the face of climate change and growing financial constraints. My passion for future digital innovation aligns closely with Ramboll’s priorities and principles as a business and as a proponent of the use of technology for sustainable change. Drawing on my industry experience, I hope to play a key role in delivering the creative mobility and asset optimisation solutions Ramboll is known for.”
Graeme Dodds commented, “Ramboll’s reputation for excellence and its focus on multidisciplinary collaboration both attracted me to the business, and it is a huge privilege to be joining the team at such a critical moment for transport infrastructure and devolution changes. I look forward to working closely with my accomplished new colleagues to bring deliverable solutions to tackle the complexity of challenges faced by our clients, and work successfully with them and our partners to deliver real change, and drive the success of our business.”
