UK-headquartered engineering consultancy Mott MacDonald has acquired Australian engineering and energy consultancy Merz Consulting.
Merz specialises in power distribution, transmission-and-generation design, and project delivery.
Mott MacDonald said it has a strong reputation among policy makers, network utilities, EPC contractors and clients in mining and industry, and that it would help them win business in Australia, New Zealand, and the Asia Pacific region.
Mott MacDonald’s managing director for Australia Frances Badelow said the acquisition “brings specialised capabilities and trusted client relationships in the West Australian energy sector to our business”.
Merz managing director Geoff Glazier said: “Mott MacDonald’s significant global portfolio of energy transition projects provides new learning opportunities for the Merz Consulting team and access to a broader range of expertise for our existing clients.”
