Transportation engineering and rail infrastructure consulting across Canada and globally
SYSTRA Canada is a 200–500-person engineering and consulting firm focused on passenger and freight transportation systems, with particular depth in rail infrastructure, rolling stock design, and transit modernization. The hiring profile is heavily engineering-skewed (611 of 727 open roles in engineering), matched to active project work across metro rail, high-speed rail, and heavy rail corridors in Canada, India, and Europe. Adoption of BIM signals a shift toward integrated design workflows, while repeated pain points around CBTC migration and regulatory compliance suggest the firm is navigating complex legacy-to-modern system transitions for clients.
Notable leadership hires: Chief Expert, Chief Expert Finance, Chief Accountant, Project Director, Chief Tunnel Ventilation Expert
