Lindley has built a successful 27-year career in the rail industry, gaining a  wealth of 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.

Prior to working in  Canada, Lindley was the Alliance Director on the Trans-Pennine Route Eastern  Section for Network Rail, having worked previously for Carillion as Project Delivery  Director on a number of programmes, including the Great Northern / Great  Eastern Enhancement (Phase 2 Civils), and earlier as the Alliance Manager on the  North London Lines.

He will report to Keltbray Managing Director of Rail, Neil  Thompson.

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.

“His industry-leading experience gained as both a client and delivery partner will  greatly benefit Keltbray in developing sustainable design, construction and  programme management capabilities to deliver critical elements on the world’s  most carbon-efficient, high speed rail network for the UK tax payer.”
