CBRE has bolstered its engineering expertise with a key hire and a promotion. Paul McEwan has been appointed as Director of Engineering Consultancy for the North, responsible for all building services engineering projects across the Northern super region and will be based in the Liverpool and Manchester offices. Paul Feely moves up to head CBRE’s national engineering design service.
Paul McEwan joins from Wates Construction’s M&E division Shepherd Engineering, where he spent six years leading on major projects across a range of sectors, including laboratories and healthcare, as well as delivering some of the most sustainable auditoria and office projects in the UK.

Oliver Thomas, Head of CBRE’s Northern Project Management and Building Consultancy teams said:
“Paul McEwan’s appointment forms part of our growth strategy, which will also see Paul Feely move into a National role to develop our design services offer across the UK and Ireland. We are on the lookout for engineers who want a new challenge and the opportunity to be part of the world’s largest Real Estate business and a multi-disciplinary Project Management and Building Consultancy team.
“Paul McEwan will be key to that overall strategy, building on the great work that has already been achieved and leading our Northern engineering consultancy services.”
