In this role, Mr. Kerridge will be responsible for managing business development and evolving and implementing strategies to build the N&E business. He will also have responsibility for assuring quality and consistency in business development pursuits.

“Jeff’s understanding of the nuclear industry for the U.S. Department of Energy and U.K. Ministry of Defense is invaluable,” said John Vollmer, president of AECOM’s Management Services group. “This appointment leverages his expertise to build on our momentum of growth in these key market segments.”

Mr. Kerridge has experience in domestic and international business development, program management, and project controls for various projects in the nuclear industry, with an emphasis on facility design, decommissioning and waste management. Mr. Kerridge enters his new assignment after serving as program director and chief operating officer of CH2M for the U.K. Ministry of Defense (MoD) in Bristol, United Kingdom.
