Amec Foster Wheeler has appointed a new chairman to its remuneration committee.
Neil Carson, a non-executive director since 2010, will assume the role of senior independent director as well.
As well as being a member of the remuneration committee, he is also a member of the audit and health, safety, security, environmental and ethics (HSSEE) committees.
He will replace Simon Thompson in both positions following his departure last month from the board after six years as a non-executive director.
