Global Infrastructure launches specialist works divison

Global Infrastructure, the civil engineering and construction partner to the energy and utilities sectors, has announced the launch of a new Specialist Works division, which is forecast to deliver a multi-million-pound turnover in year one.

The business is also reviewing further tender opportunities valued at more than £20m.

The Specialist Works division will operate alongside Global Infrastructure’s larger-scale project delivery teams, giving clients access to the systems, standards and expertise of a major contractor through a more agile and flexible delivery model.



The new division is led by specialist works director Darren MacRae, who was appointed earlier this year following almost 17 years with the business, working alongside Commercial Lead Grant Munro, who joined Global Infrastructure almost a decade ago as a Quantity Surveyor and was also appointed to his current role earlier this year. Together they will be responsible for developing the division, strengthening client relationships, securing new opportunities and supporting the growth of the Specialist Works team.

With a core team established, rich in project management, commercial support, estimating, design coordination, supervision, compliance, and operational delivery experience, the wider project delivery team is expected to grow as further projects and framework agreements are secured.

Darren MacRae commented: “We’re excited to add a new business division within Global Infrastructure which we believe has potential to support growth of the wider company by broadening capability, increasing local visibility, improving client retention, and creating further opportunity for sustainable, framework-led growth. We’re already on target to achieve a multi-million-pound turnover in year one and expect this to grow through years two and three, driven by strong demand and a promising pipeline of tender opportunities.

“Specialist Works has been launched to strengthen Global Infrastructure’s ability to deliver smaller, specialist and time-critical civils, maintenance, and infrastructure projects alongside its larger-scale operations. It gives the overall business an agile delivery capability for complex local works, maintenance, and specialist civils packages — helping clients access the same standards, systems, and expertise of a larger contractor through a faster and more flexible delivery model.”



He concluded: “Our focus will be on securing repeatable, framework-based contracts across energy infrastructure, renewables, distillery environments, and maintenance-led works where Global Infrastructure already has a strong track record. As well as building on long-standing relationships with clients, we will target opportunities with new and adjacent clients across the utilities, private development, waterways, local authority infrastructure, industrial facilities, and specialist access markets. This gives the business a balanced route to growth through both trusted existing relationships and carefully selected new opportunities.”
