An Aecom spokesperson said McCall was leaving for personal reasons.

In August, the firm said it was cutting 500 jobs just days after its UK chief executive David Barwell left the top role after 20 years at the business.

The consultant said the figure amounted to around 7% of its 7,000 UK and Ireland staff who work out of around 40 offices, including its London headquarters at Aldgate.
