The move would boost the firm’s capability within renewable energy and energy storage.

Braithwaite comes to the firm with a 28-year background as a civil engineer, including the last 12 years in the renewables sector.

Having worked for both developers and contractors in design & build environments, Braithwaite’s background and expertise spans transportation and building infrastructure, onshore wind, solar, and energy storage projects.

Based in Glasgow, he will support the firm’s growth in the renewables and energy storage market, supporting clients with the delivery of sustainable infrastructure solutions in the UK and beyond.

Starting in the role, Braithwaite said: “Tony Gee has long been recognised for its technical excellence, collaborative culture, and ability to deliver high-quality solutions for clients across the industry.
