BOSTON – DPS Group, a privately-owned, global engineering, procurement, construction management and validation (EPCMV) firm serving high-tech process industries, announced that Werner Greyling has joined the firm as senior vice president, U.S. project operations, in the firm’s Albany, New York office.
In this new role, Werner will lead its strategic direction and growth, with a focus on pursuing new markets, driving project execution improvements, and developing a strong results-driven culture.
Serving high-tech industries around the world, DPS designs and builds facilities that turn scientific innovations into life-saving and life-enhancing products. The firm delivers full service engineering across a range of disciplines, including project management, procurement, design, construction management, health and safety management, commissioning, qualification and facility start-up.
In 2015, DPS opened its Albany office with a focus on the advanced technology, micro-electronics, semi-conductor, and life-sciences industries. Werner will be tasked with creating a strong foundation to foster growth in the firm’s current markets and expand into the data center and mission critical facility sector.

At DPS, I look forward to building a high-performing team and an enjoyable and supportive work environment that enables us to provide exceptional results for our clients.”
