AECOM (NYSE: ACM), the world’s trusted infrastructure consulting
firm, announced today it has appointed Dawn MacDonald as its Global
Offshore Wind Market Sector Lead. In this role, Ms. MacDonald will
work across the globe to advance an integrated offshore wind
offering that leverages AECOM’s leading environmental and port
infrastructure expertise to new and existing clients.
“We are excited to welcome Dawn to AECOM as we continue to
advance our Sustainable Legacies strategy and extend our global
capabilities in the growing offshore wind energy market,” said Lara
Poloni, AECOM’s president. “We have a deep commitment to positively
impacting the environment and helping our clients realize their
low-carbon energy ambitions, and Dawn’s industry-leading offshore
wind experience will further enhance AECOM’s multi-decade track
record of delivering best-in-class environmental services and
leadership in the ports and marine design sector.’’
Global offshore wind generation is expected to rapidly grow over
the next decade, driven by government net-zero commitments and
incentives, the need for reliability through the energy transition,
implementation of new technologies, and major leases coming online.
AECOM's unique combination of services in permitting, port design,
energy, construction, and program management allows the firm
to serve its clients across the complexities associated with their
wind development projects.
“I am delighted to join AECOM and work closely with technical
experts around the world to deliver large-scale projects that
reinforce our position as an offshore wind leader,” said Ms.
MacDonald. “With governments moving quickly to boost new renewable
energy capacity and meet their carbon reduction goals, I am also
looking forward to helping our clients accelerate delivery and
significantly de-risk these projects by reducing complexities
through extensive collaboration with developers, key suppliers and
contractors, local ports, and agencies.”
An energy industry veteran with more than 20 years in the sector
and a professional engineer by trade, Ms. MacDonald brings an
impressive portfolio of offshore wind experience, having overseen
development, construction, and operations projects as part of the
Maple Power joint venture in Europe. Prior to that role, she was
based out of Calgary, Canada and oversaw the technical development
of North American megaprojects and evaluation of energy sector
investment opportunities.
