Atkins names new chief for power business

DUBAI, September 16, 2014

Atkins, one of the world's leading design, engineering and project management consultancies, has appointed Phil Malem as the new managing director to develop its power business, with a particular focus on the Middle East.  

Malem will be based in Abu Dhabi and play a key role in leading the growth and direction of Atkins’ worldwide power business, for which the key markets are the UK and Middle East, said a statement from the company.

Malem has previously played a leading role in the growth of Atkins’ nuclear business as strategy director and deputy managing director.  

The business currently provides high-end infrastructure engineering support services for conventional generation, transmission and distribution, marine renewables, biomass, and energy from waste.

Welcoming Malem into the team, Martin Grant, CEO of Atkins’ energy business, said: “I am delighted that Phil has chosen to take up this role. His knowledge and understanding of clients’ needs in the Middle East as well as the UK means that he will be able to steer the expansion of our power business and position us as the lead international energy consultancy.”  

Malem said: “The Middle East is a particularly important region for us with lots of opportunities for innovative work, and I am looking forward to taking on this role at such an exciting time for the business."

“Our experience in the power generation sector in the UK will bring added value to clients in the Middle East and Atkins has a deep understanding of the particular challenges that face the power sector in this region, from grid integration of renewables to building a nuclear industry,” he added.-TradeArabia News Service
