Having joined the company in 2020, Mark was appointed to lead the development of Anglian Water’s Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects (NSIPs) which are following the Development Consent Order (DCO) planning processes. These include two multi-billion pound raw water reservoirs planned for the East of England – Fens and Lincolnshire Reservoirs – both currently in the development phase and scheduled to commence construction around 2030.

Previously Mark led Black & Veatch’s contracting business in the UK & Europe Region focusing on design/build delivery water and energy clients. From 2005 to 2016 he worked across Australia and New Zealand, primarily leading the water industry activities for the contracting and engineering business Downer in the municipal water and resources/mining sectors. This followed almost a decade with Thames Water in project management, construction and engineering roles.
