AECOM, URS Outline Post-Acquisition Management Team

Senior URS executive Randy Wotring will head up AECOM’s work in the federal marketplace, including in the Department of Energy, once it completes its acquisition of URS, according to information released earlier this week. AECOM and URS outlined the planned management structure of their combined organization in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. AECOM is in the process of acquiring URS in a deal estimated to be worth approximately $6 billion and set to be completed next month. In the new combined organization, set to be in place in early 2015, Wotring will serve as Group President of Management Services, which will be made up of AECOM’s Global Support Services group and URS’s Federal Services division. Wotring will report to AECOM President and CEO Mike Burke. “Randy is a proven leader with extensive experience in the federal marketplace,” URS CEO Martin Koffel said in a message to employees. “Since 2004, he has led URS’ Federal Services Division, which has grown significantly under his direction with major programs for the U.S. Departments of Defense, Homeland Security and Energy, NASA, and the United Kingdom’s Ministry of Defence and Nuclear Decommissioning Authority,” Koffel said.
