We specialize in consulting, engineering, procurement and construction across the project lifecycle, with services extending through to operations and decommissioning. Leveraging extensive experience and AI-enabled delivery, we support customers in navigating complexity as they meet today's needs and transition to more sustainable solutions.

Worley’s global Corporate Affairs team supports the business and our leaders by bringing insights to decisions, crafting and amplifying narrative, managing risks, and creating opportunities for our strategy to succeed. The EMEA Corporate Affairs team is part of the global group and partners with the EMEA regional business, which operates across around 18 countries, including a diverse range of cultures and stakeholder environments.
