Engineering and consulting for Canadian rail, transit, and rolling stock
SYSTRA Canada is an engineering and consulting firm serving Canadian and North American rail and transit operators. The tech stack—Primavera P6, AutoCAD, Civil 3D, ArcGIS, and GIS tools—reflects design-heavy, infrastructure-focused work. Hiring is heavily concentrated in engineering (78 of 83 open roles) with seniority skewed toward senior and lead levels, suggesting active scaling of delivery capacity on major rail projects (alto high-speed rail, Ontario rail infrastructure, railway privatization work) while grappling with internal pain points around complex data integration, multidisciplinary coordination, and data governance.
Notable leadership hires: Engineering Director, Programme Lead
SYSTRA Canada is part of the SYSTRA group and provides engineering, consulting, and project-management services across Canadian and North American transportation sectors. The firm operates in three service lines: transit (passenger mobility), rolling stock (turnkey passenger cars, wagons, and locomotives), and intercity/heavy rail (conventional rail for passenger and freight transport). Core capabilities span infrastructure and track design, rolling-stock engineering, railway operations, signaling and telecommunications, economic and financial studies, and technical specification development. Current project work includes high-speed rail development, capacity expansion of existing railway networks, and railway privatization initiatives.
Primary tools: Primavera P6 (project management), AutoCAD, Civil 3D, ArcGIS Pro/Enterprise (design and spatial analysis), MicroStation, SolidWorks (mechanical design), LIDAR, and Python for analysis. Also uses iCIMS for HR, Microsoft Power Suite (Power BI, Power Automate, Power Apps), and Aconex for collaboration.
Active work includes: alto high-speed rail project, Ontario rail and transit infrastructure projects, capacity expansion of existing railway networks, railway privatization initiatives, corridor integration planning, and a lands digital program.
