30 Second Briefing
Premier Technical Services Group has appointed Craig Doig as managing director of its water treatment division, adding senior leadership capacity to a business that also delivers rope access, façade maintenance, electrical services and fire safety systems. Doig joins from Equans, part of Bouygues Group, where he oversaw a £150m regional facilities management operation spanning Scotland, northern England and Ireland. His remit will centre on scaling PTSG’s compliance-led water treatment services, where robust operational control and documentation are critical for building services, Legionella risk management and asset performance.
Technical Brief
- More than 20 years’ FM leadership experience spans both public sector estates and commercial property portfolios.
- Exposure to large, multi-site contracts implies familiarity with statutory inspection regimes and safety-critical PPM scheduling.
- Background in Bouygues Group supply chains suggests established processes for competence management and contractor vetting.
- PTSG’s portfolio couples water treatment with fire safety, electrical testing and façade access, enabling integrated compliance strategies.
- Rope access and façade maintenance capability allows water hygiene work on elevated plant and external storage assets.
- Chief executive Greg Ward explicitly frames the division as “compliance-led”, signalling documentation-heavy, audit-ready operating procedures.
- For similar multi-service contractors, aligning divisional leadership with compliance-heavy functions can tighten cross-discipline safety governance.
Our Take
PTSG’s earlier acquisition of Scottish lightning protection specialist Earth Tech LPS (January 2026) suggests the new divisional leadership is being put in place to integrate and scale those niche safety services across Scotland, the north of England and Ireland.
A £150m regional operation focused on safety-tagged infrastructure work positions PTSG as one of the more substantial specialist service players in our UK Infrastructure coverage, giving it leverage in framework bids with major contractors and public-sector clients.
With momentum flagged towards 2026, this leadership move likely aligns with Bouygues-owned Equans’ broader strategy to deepen recurring facilities and safety services revenue in the UK, rather than purely project-based construction income.
