Mace lands two senior transport appointments

Mace has announced a new investment in the transport sector, with the appointment of two senior directors in its consultancy business. 

Carl Dainter joins Mace as Head of Aviation for Consultancy, following a 16 year stint at AECOM. He has extensive experience of working through all stages of the lifecycle of complex aviation projects and has delivered projects for many major global aviation clients across the world.

Carl has been brought on board at Mace in order to strengthen and expand its position in the aviation sector following recent appointments, which include the delivery of the new terminal and pier at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport. Mace has worked on some of the leading airport development projects across the world, including in Mumbai, Heathrow and Gatwick in London, Dublin and Doha.

Mace’s transport sector expertise is further strengthened by the promotion of Caroline Lassen as Head of Highways and Ports. 

Caroline joined Mace in 2004 as a Project Manager and has worked across a huge range of projects and sectors in her time with the company. As an Operations Director, Caroline was named the Best Woman Consultant at the 2016 Women in Construction and Engineering Awards. 

Caroline has been tasked with expanding the scale and scope of Mace’s mature highways offer, building on its relationships with key clients like Highways England, as well as strengthening Mace’s reputation for excellence in service delivery in the sector. She is also leading the business’ work in the international port sector. 

Jason Millett, Mace’s Chief Operating Officer for Consultancy, said: 

“These appointments represent a real investment by Mace into the aviation, highways and port sectors: a demonstration of how seriously we are pushing for more sustainable growth in these sectors. We see real opportunity – both in the UK and further afield – in all of these areas, and will be proactively seeking new clients and projects across the globe.”
