Egis’ regional expansion comes at a time of rapid overall growth for the company
With the transaction completed, WME’s Managing Director Peyman Mohajer will lead the newly formed Building Engineering practice for Egis in the region, focusing on engineering design and project delivery to drive a more expansive growth agenda across Egis’ built environment offering.
Egis’ regional expansion comes at a time of rapid overall growth for the company, which was recently recognized for the first time among the top 10 design consultancy firms in the Middle East by the Engineering News Record magazine (ENR). The company now employs over 2,000 employees in the Middle East region, ensuring the firm can deliver with the speed and scale that the industry needs.
