Headquartered in Alpharetta, Ga., Mactec has some 2,600 employees, mostly highly skilled technical professionals, and 70 offices, the majority of which are in the Eastern U.S. It provides a similar wide range of services to Amec's existing Earth & Environmental (E&E) business, including environmental planning, assessment and remediation, infrastructure engineering, water resources and construction support services. The combined E&E business will be headquartered in Alpharetta and led by Hisham Mahmoud. It will have more than 7, 000 employees around the globe and bring AMEC's total North American workforce to almost 14, 000. Ms. Massey and her management team are expected to remain with the combined entity and contribute to its continued growth. write your comments about the article :: © 2011 Construction News :: home page |
