As it moves away from lump-sum contracting in the wake of project charges and recent quarter losses to focus on higher-margin engineering, Montreal-based SNC Lavalin Inc. has named Robert E. "Bob" Alger, former president, CEO and chairman of Lane Construction, as president of its infrastructure projects unit.
He succeeds Jonathan Wilkinson, who has joined Netherlands contractor Royal BAM Group N.V as UK-based chief operating officer.
