The company will be responsible for the programme management of the entire transformation, encompassing programme and project controls, commercial, risk, value management and design guardianship as well as supporting M.A.G in the wider stakeholder management as the airport seeks to realise its significant capacity for growth.
Work under the transformation includes construction of 50 new food and beverage and retail outlets at the airport.
The project also includes the increase of Terminal 2 size by 140% at the airport.
Arcadis UK CEO Alan Brookes said: "With Manchester expected to play a significant role as one of the economic ‘powerhouses’ in the North of England, investment in infrastructure and transportation are key for the city and vital in terms of helping to accelerate growth potential.
