Lucy Craig started out career as an architect before switch to contracting
McLaren Construction has appointed Lucy Craig as design director for its construction management and specialist projects division.
She joins from Mace, having spent seven years there where she was operations director and design leader. Among the projects she worked on was Mace’s Paddington Square and Battersea Power Station phase 2 schemes.
Craig started out as an architect with spells at Grimshaw, BDP and Populous before joining Canary Wharf Contractors, where she worked on the Crossrail station, and later Laing O’Rourke.
McLaren’s manging director for its CM and specialist projects business Vince Lydon said: “Building strong design skills and governance in house is important for complex projects and programmes delivered under a construction management model, where understanding clients’ needs is key from the outset.”
Craig added: “Clients are increasingly looking for contractors with multi-disciplinary teams that can lead and advise but also be flexible to respond to complex project requirements and that’s what I will be focusing on in my new role at McLaren.”
