Pengelly joined Kier 39 years ago on its graduate trainee programme and has since worked on a range of major domestic jobs including the Luton DART (Direct Air-Rail Transit), Crossrail and St Mary’s Hospital on the Isle of Wight. 

He will continue to oversee operational delivery of EKFB until the end of the year while a successor is identified. 

“To finish my career working on one of Europe’s largest infrastructure projects is a real highlight and, over the coming months, I will continue to work with our joint venture partners on this project,” said Pengelly. 

“I’d like to sincerely thank colleagues – past and present – who have helped shape and support my career over the years, and I look forward to seeing the next generation of talent drive the industry forward.”
