Employer Description:
SYSTRA has been involved in UK mobility and mass transit schemes for over 50 years and has delivered projects in the Republic of Ireland for nearly 40 years. Our transport planners delivered the first large scale transport studies in the UK (leading to the implementation of the Tyne & Wear Metro). We have managed and developed London’s strategic transport model since 1987, including developing the tools to assess the capital’s congestion charge scheme, Crossrail/Elizabeth Line and other major rail schemes. As a member of the Rail Link Engineering joint venture, SYSTRA played a key role in delivering HS1, the UK’s first high speed line, and we were part of the team that delivered Crossrail, now known as the Elizabeth Line. Today we work on mobility schemes that connect communities across the UK and Ireland at all scales; from projects that facilitate walking and cycling for local trips to some of the largest infrastructure programmes.
