Infrastructure executive search for asset owners, utilities, transport and capital programmes. Clients include Balfour Beatty and AGS Airports.
Oryx provides infrastructure executive search for asset owners and operators, regulated utilities and networks, transport and aviation, and the capital programmes, concessions and framework contractors that deliver them. Clients include Balfour Beatty, AGS Airports, London Biggin Hill Airport, Tilbury Douglas and Bureau Veritas. Leadership appointments in infrastructure are made against long asset lifecycles, regulatory settlements and public scrutiny, so the relevant experience is specific: running a regulated asset base, delivering a multi-year capital programme to time and outturn cost, managing concession or franchise obligations, or holding a safety case. We identify and assess people against those requirements rather than against a generic seniority profile. Coverage includes water, energy networks and telecoms, rail and highways, ports and airports, digital infrastructure and data centres, and the funds, developers and operators that own, finance and maintain these assets.
Birmingham Airport (BHX) is the seventh-busiest airport in the UK, serving over 13.6 million passengers annually. Located in the Metropolitan Borough of Solihull, it sits about 8 miles (13 km) east-southeast of Birmingham city centre. Oryx handled two projects; one to recruit a new Development and Construction Director, the other to recruit a new Head of Corporate affairs and Marketing.
As one of the UK’s leading construction companies, and a constituent of the FTSE 250, Balfour Beatty is committed to attracting the best possible talent from right across the construction sector. Oryx has successfully handled numerous projects across various parts of the Group, from a Project Director to deliver a pioneering waste-to-energy plant in a complex JV relationship, through to commercial and operational leadership roles for the Highways business.
Tilbury Douglas is a FTSE 250 listed organisation; for whom we have delivered projects since 2006. Since that time we have successfully recruited a number of key individuals into their Citizen Services Division and International Project Services Division in the Middle East. Our projects have included a number of pivotal Director appointments on behalf of the Justice and Healthcare Business Units. We have also helped to strengthen their Middle East operation, recruiting numerous strategic positions across the region.
