Highlights over the past 12 months
In Saudi Araba, Hamed has played a leading role in AECOM’s ongoing expansion and market dominance. His strong leadership and relentless focus on flawless project delivery were key to AECOM securing significant contract extensions on Vision 2030 projects, such as NEOM Bay, for which we provide program management consultancy services and NEOM Spine Infrastructure, for which we provide design services. In addition, we were awarded the role of Executive Program Management by the Royal Commission of AlUla and Majid Al Futtaim appointed us as the lead design consultant for its mixed-use development in north Riyadh.
In Qatar, Hamed continued to forge delivery relationships with Ashghal, adding the management of their local roads and drainage program to our portfolio. We also secured a six-year contract with Hamad International Airport to provide PMC services for a new cargo terminal and Amiri Flight Facilities.
In the UAE, Hamed is a trusted advisor to clients. We continue to deliver transformative projects for the public and private sector, and secured contracts for large-scale projects with Aldar and Miral.
Since launching Sustainable Legacies, our ESG strategy and services, in April 2021, we have secured work through frameworks providing net zero advisory services to clients. By embracing services that are being valued differently by clients we have embedded this new revenue stream in our regional business and boast the largest market share of voice on net zero.
