Notable leadership hires: Chief Contracts Manager, Project Director, Telecommunications Director, Chief Rolling Stock Expert, Chief Track
SYSTRA designs, delivers, and maintains public transport and mobility infrastructure for cities and regional governments. The firm operates across the full project lifecycle: preliminary studies and planning, design and engineering, construction supervision, testing and commissioning, and long-term operation and maintenance. With offices in 80 countries and 80% of revenue generated internationally, SYSTRA is positioned as the second-largest international engineering firm for mass transit and rail (ENR 2025 ranking). Active pain points—safety compliance, design standards adherence, legacy transit migration to CBTC, cost control, and complex rail system integration—define their current operational priorities across major metros and high-speed rail corridors.
SYSTRA deploys AutoCAD, Revit, BIM, STAAD, and GIS for design and modeling; Oracle Primavera and Microsoft Project for project management; TransCAD, VISSIM, and AIMSUN for transport planning and simulation; and SCADA for operational control of deployed systems.
SYSTRA is actively engaged on Mumbai metro lines 5, 6, 7A, and 9; the Mumbai-Ahmedabad high-speed rail corridor; New Delhi railway station redevelopment; the Grand Paris Express; and Kochi metro, among other urban and semi-high-speed rail projects globally.
