WSP has added three new directors to its transport and infrastructure business team as it aims for a share of the ‘growing pipeline' of strategic rail and highways contracts.

Iain Salisbury (pictured) has been appointed as design and build director in the highways team based in Glasgow.

He has more than 30 years' industry experience and joins from CH2M (now Jacobs), where he worked as a project director, delivering schemes such as the Aberdeen bypass and a section of the M60 smart motorway in Manchester.

He said: ‘In addition to its developing design and build portfolio, WSP is launching a new local authority discipline to its transport and infrastructure strategic business unit.

‘I will be able to contribute to a wide range of strategic projects, delivering a safe, efficient and sustainable road network for future generations.'

Andrew Dodds and Steve Burrows have been appointed as deputy group director of rail engineering services for the South and  North of the UK respectively.

Mr Dodds joins from Network Rail and brings over 27 years' experience in the industry. WSP said he will help the business secure new opportunities and continue delivering successfully on key projects like HS2's Birmingham Curzon Street Station and Old Oak Common Station.

Mr Burrows has more than 20 years' experience in the industry, working on the design and build of projects across the UK, Australia and Singapore. In his previous role he was an associate in the rail leadership team at Arup, leading its digital transformation portfolio.
