As programme leader, Neil Lindley will report to managing director of rail, Neil Thompson.
Lindley has built a highly successful 27-year career in the rail industry, gaining experience in the UK and overseas, leading complex multi-disciplinary infrastructure and rail programmes.
His most recent role was as vice president for Metrolinx on the Toronto Union Station Rail Corridor and the Toronto Light Rail Transit.

‘A major boost to our HS2 ambitions’
Commenting on his appointment, Neil Thompson, said: “Neil’s appointment is a major boost to our HS2 ambitions, building on work being undertaken by other parts of the group for the construction joint ventures, as we pursue and deliver major packages of work on Europe’s largest and most complex infrastructure project.
