COWI, a Denmark-based engineering consulting group, has appointed Glasgow-based Eva MacInnes as senior vice president for UK and Ireland and managing director of its UK business according to a Scottish Construction News report.

In the role, MacInnes will lead COWI's UK operations and oversee growth and performance across the UK and Ireland, working closely with international teams to strengthen delivery across infrastructure, energy and transport.

MacInnes joined COWI in 2013 as a geotechnical engineer and has progressed through a series of senior leadership roles, including regional director for Scotland, vice president for operations and most recently head of engineering.

Her experience spans detailed geotechnical design and delivery on major transport and energy infrastructure schemes, including complex bridge works and rail programmes.

In more recent leadership roles, she has overseen multidisciplinary engineering teams and supported project delivery across long-term infrastructure frameworks in the UK.

MacInnes stated she is stepping into the role at a time of real opportunity and investment.

"I'm stepping into this role at a time of real opportunity and investment across the UK and Ireland, particularly in areas such as water, energy and transport. We're already working on many of the programmes shaping that next phase of delivery, and COWI is well placed to help our customers deliver critical infrastructure," she said.

MacInnes will focus on growth across water infrastructure, energy transmission and major transport programmes, whilst continuing to strengthen COWI's established expertise in bridge, hydro and ground engineering.

Ireland also forms part of her remit, building on the company's expanding presence in Dublin and its involvement in district heating and wider energy transition initiatives.
