Chaney brings a proven track record in developing and leading commercial teams and has wide-ranging experience working on complex civil engineering schemes in the UK and Australia.

He joins from Laing O’Rourke, where he has worked for over 25 years, gaining considerable onsite expertise in specialist ground and structural engineering. This includes commercial and contractual experience gained on iconic London projects, including The Leadenhall Building, One Hyde Park and The Francis Crick Institute.

In his new role, Chaney will be responsible for leading the commercial operations across the Built Environment division, covering strategic client relationship and contract management, supply chain liaison, team development, cost control and change management.

Vince Corrigan said: “We are delighted to welcome someone of Andy’s calibre to Keltbray. He joins us with a wealth of experience and at a time when the business is targeting strong growth and development in key building and adjacent infrastructure sectors.

“I know he will play a major role in creating a more agile, efficient and effective commercial function capable of moving us into new, more complex contractual customer arrangements as Keltbray focuses on securing the most valuable opportunities in the market”
