Murphy has appointed Balfour Beatty/Vinci HS2 project boss Peter Anderson as managing director for its southern operations.
Anderson, who worked at Balfour for over 16 years in several senior roles at its railway business will join Murphy in early February.
His early career saw him deliver high profile projects such as M25 widening and Channel Tunnel Rail Link C440.
Murphy’s chief executive officer, Steve Hollingshead, said: We have a lot to deliver for our clients and there are great opportunities across the infrastructure sector.
“Peter further boosts our team to maximise those opportunities and deliver our ten-year plan. He will become a key member of our executive management board and I’m pleased he’s joining us on our journey.”
Murphy’s current MD for the south, Darren Ramsay, will move to lead the bidding and delivery for some of the company’s major infrastructure projects, including the vast York Potash mine.
Hollingshead is building up his management team at Murphy as part of a 10-year expansion plan.
In the last three months the firm has hired David Burke as new finance boss from Serco and poached Van Elle piling Andrew Waghorn to run its ground engineering business.
More recently Murphy has hired Durkan development director Shaun Sheldrake as construction operations director and Laing O’Rourke glass reiforced concrete boss Miles Cobley to become head of planning and project controls in the North.
Hollingshead added:“As we deliver our business plan, these appointments are a statement of our intent to attract and retain the best industry talent.”
Meanwhile, Balfour Beatty/Vinci today announced that Mark Cutler as new managing director of its HS2 joint venture.
Cutler rejoined Balfour Beatty last year as director of strategic projects, after a brief stint at Keepmoat and having previously led Balfour’s UK regional construction and civil engineering businesses.
He was previously CEO of Barhale and managing director of Morgan Est following his early career in Carillion, during which time he oversaw major projects on the West Coast upgrade and High Speed 1.
Balfour Beatty VINCI has bid four of the seven packages of main civils works including the Chiltern Tunnels and Colne Valley Viaduct, North Portal Chiltern Tunnels to Brackley, Long Itchington Wood Green tunnel to Delta Junction – Birmingham Spur, and the Delta Junction to West Coast main line tie-in.
Successful contractors for the main civils works will be announced in mid-2017 with mains work construction expected to commence in 2018.
