With a career that spans thirty years, Vip Gandhi will drive the ongoing growth strategy in Infrastructure, one of our core sectors, and oversee the delivery of major transport projects.

Prior to joining Sir Robert McAlpine, Vip was the Managing Director (Highway & Renewables) at Keltbray and was a Member of the Board of Trustees at Safer Highways. He previously operated in Project Board Director positions on key infrastructure projects, including HS2, the A14 Cambridge, Lower Thames Crossing and the A66 from Penrith to Scotch Corner. He also held senior posts at Jacobs for twenty years, including sitting on the Board of RingwayJacobs.

Vip joins at the same time that Sir Robert McAlpine has appointed two new Framework Directors, Richard Parker and David Polkey, who will be responsible for the delivery of nuclear work at Sellafield.

Tony Gates, Executive Managing Director at Sir Robert McAlpine said: "I am delighted to welcome Vip as the new Managing Director of Transport. His appointment demonstrates the continued success of our sector-based approach and I look forward to seeing him apply his talents to our UK wide operations. Along with Richard and David’s appointments, it’s an exciting time for Infrastructure, with clear growth plans for the years ahead.

Sir Robert McAlpine is one of the most prestigious companies in our industry, which delivers on the UK’s most important infrastructure projects, and I look forward to continuing this legacy and pursuing new growth opportunities.

Vip Gandhi, Managing Director of Transport at Sir Robert McAlpine
