We are delighted to welcome Matthew D’Archambaud as our new National Lead for Highways. His appointment supports Waterman’s ambition to grow its highways capability and respond to evolving client needs across the UK.
A strategic leader with extensive senior-level expertise spanning highways design, active travel, transport planning, regeneration and programme management, Matthew joins us from Lewisham Council, where he was Head of Strategic Transport and Highways, prior to which he had spent the majority of his career working for a number of civil engineering consultancies in the private sector.
Having held senior leadership and project delivery roles within local government, alongside consultancy appointments supporting public sector clients, Matthew brings a comprehensive understanding of the strategic, political, commercial and operational challenges facing local authorities.
Waterman’s Director of Infrastructure and Environment, Chris Welch, said: “Matthew’s appointment marks an important step in our ambition to grow Waterman’s highways capability across the UK. I am confident that his strategic leadership, extensive sector expertise and strong understanding of client priorities will be invaluable to our teams and clients as we strengthen our position in the highways and transport market.”
