Drew joins WDL after 10 years of experience working on the Winchburgh development as a key member of the Sweco Consulting Engineering team.

Drew began working with Sweco as a graduate in 2012 and has worked on the project ever since, from overseeing earthworks to project manager and civil engineering lead.

Speaking about his appointment, Drew said: “With nearly 10 years’ experience working on the Winchburgh project, it’s fantastic to have joined the WDL team in this crucial year.

“From supervising earthworks at Block K back in 2012 to Civils project manager, my career has developed in tandem with the delivery of the Winchburgh masterplan. I am looking forward to being part of an already successful team as it continues to grow.”

John Hamilton, chief executive of WDL said: “It’s great to have Drew as part of the Winchburgh team now that the project is building such momentum.

"With six housebuilders on-site, phase 1 of Auldcathie Park open, a major school campus opening this summer and the M9 junction works soon to be underway, Drew’s expertise will be invaluable in making the next period a success.”
