BURO Happold has bolstered its Middle East team with new directors, making strategic appointments that include a new country director for Saudi Arabia.

The international multidisciplinary engineering consultancy has named Oliver Plunkett as its new country director for Saudi Arabia. Plunkett takes over from Phil Dalglish, who has been appointed business development director for the Middle East and will spearhead the consultancy’s planned growth in the region.
Robert Okpala has been appointed as its new regional discipline leader for building environment, and Martin Tillman will lead its transportation team in the region.
Rod Macdonald, Buro Happold’s Riyadh-based chairman and a founding partner, said: “These new senior appointments will help us to deliver on ambitious growth plans for our Middle East business. They are evidence of our commitment to international clients, as well as the Middle East market, where we have been active since the practice was founded in 1976.”
