Aquenta provides integrated project services to public and private sector clients in Australia. The 220-person business had been owned by Amec Foster Wheeler since 2010.
The firm specialises in areas including cost management, project planning and controls, project and risk management, contract, commercial and dispute services, along with asset and facilities management.
“The acquisition of Aquenta further strengthens our Asia Pacific Buildings and Infrastructure business, expands our global capability in integrated project services, and is in line with the strategic plan we announced late last year at our investor day,” said Jacobs senior vice president buildings and infrastructure Patrick Hill. “This is particularly important as we continue to build our reputation for the delivery of high value project management services across the growing Asia Pacific Buildings and Infrastructure market. The integration of Aquenta with Jacobs will serve to strengthen the value proposition we have been jointly providing to clients on more than 50 projects over the past ten years.”
“Joining Jacobs provides a tremendous business opportunity for our people and our clients through expanded services, capability, resources and geographic reach,” said Aquenta managing director Mike McCloskey. “Together, our complementary skills will help to build on the excellent track record of success that Jacobs has established in the delivery of multi-disciplinary services to clients across the globe.”
