Engineering consultancy Wood has created a new technical consulting solutions (TCS) business unit, which will provide services to clients in the renewables sector among others.
The new unit combines the former specialist technical solutions and environment and infrastructure solutions business areas, covering customers across renewables, infrastructure design, environmental planning and remediation, upstream and downstream oil and gas, manufacturing, mining and a range of governmental agencies.
Technical consulting solutions will be led by Joe Sczurko who takes on the role of TCS chief executive.
Sczurko (pictured) has spent over 30 years in consulting engineering and previously served as executive president of strategy and development at Wood.
“The new business unit has been created to bring together the expertise and provide the agility to respond to the changes and trends shaping the world and Wood’s customers: global energy security and transition, accelerating digital technology, and the growing demand for sustainable infrastructure and environmental resiliency,” Wood said.
Wood chief executive Robin Watson said: “Our customers are looking for partners they can trust to build the best solutions that meet the ultimate objectives of their programmes.
“With the creation of TCS, we have a compelling blend of capabilities across projects, operations and consulting services that are highly relevant for customers working in the energy and built environment markets.
“By combining the world-class consultancy solutions that TCS offers with the ingenuity and collective expertise that we have across our business, we will continue to anticipate and respond to the challenges that our customers face across the life cycle of their projects.”
Sczurko said: “The combined capabilities and resources within this new business are unmatched among our competitors.
“TCS has a unique ability to leverage leading positions across a broad service range and global footprint allowing us to build and blend teams from every part of Wood, tailor the right expertise and create the right solutions in response to customers’ individual needs.
“We can help customers effectively plan their projects, optimise their capital expenditures, address environmental concerns, improve the productivity of their day-to-day operations, and preserve value in their property, plants, and equipment.
“Remaining customer-centric throughout the asset life cycle, we focus on achieving their objectives with industry-leading technical experts in each phase of the life cycle: plan, engineer, build, operate, and re-purpose.”
