ABOUT BRUCE CHALMERS

30+ years experience in UK infrastructure across sectors including: highways, water, energy, environmental, ports & maritime, flood management and nuclear.Undertaken a wide range of senior operational and sales roles across sectors in a varied career at Jacobs with particular focus in the last 10 years around Water, Major Projects and Environmental where I most recently undertook the Global Market Director (GMD) role for this end market (~$2BN) for Jacobs. It\'s an exciting time on the Environmental market with growth across the globe and in all segments - a key focus in this role for the last 12 months has been around refreshing PFAS strategy.Prior to the GMD role I was responsible for the business performance of our Water & Environment performance unit in Europe (~2400 employees) supporting work across regulated water, flood management, port, tunnelling and ground engineering and environmental services. I have recently taken on the leadership as VP & GM of our global Environmental Solutions performance unit - for which I will be relocating to the US - with a major focus on growth globally across private sector clients and specialist remediation market segment alongside broader environmental services.As I continue to build my experience and expertise across the Environmental market with a passion for diving sales and growth my others I am fortunate enough to be able to utilise some of my wider commercial, alternative delivery and digital business skills as we solve client problems in different ways. In particular, JV\'s, Alliances, P13 delivery models - alongside end to end O&M - are areas of capability I enjoy bringing to our client portfolios as they look for better ways to deliver new infrastructure.With advances in technology and new opportunities presented through big data applications we can now also solve some of the our old client challenges in very different ways - something which is rewarding on several levels as we develop new complex, technology enabled solutions together with innovative new business models for delivery of these. As a fast learner I’d consider myself a digital business leader these days and spend over half my time on these types of solution, not just the technical, but marketing, commercial models, and outcomes based contracting approaches. While retaining operational leadership with the intimate market knowledge and client relationships remains key in any good business venture.If one thing underpins the last 30+ years of career - it\'s team work - I work with great people and it make\'s the all of the above fun!
