The BD and marketing team comprises the following teams: client development, events, practice group BD (PGBD), brand and online marketing, and communications and PR.

The projects group has a long history of working on major infrastructure projects both in the UK and internationally, advising across virtually every infrastructure sector, including transport, energy, and accommodation. This group also includes the construction transactional team, enabling greater collaboration and creating areas of overlap for clients. You will also be supporting the Rail team, which is part of the REP practice group and also sits within one of our core sectors, Transportation and Trade.
