Turner & Townsend appoints Rebecca Reyman to lead rail sector growth in Ireland
Turner & Townsend, the global professional services company, has appointed Rebecca Reyman as its new Rail Sector Lead for Ireland, strengthening its capability to support the delivery of major transport infrastructure across the country.
Rebecca’s appointment further reinforces the company’s growing infrastructure team delivering for all rail clients across both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland including operators and state agencies.
Rebecca’s appointment comes at a pivotal time for the sector. The revised National Development Plan (NDP), published in July, allocates significant capital investment to rail infrastructure in Ireland. This follows the publication of the All-Island Strategic Rail Review, which sets out a long-term vision to decarbonise transport, improve regional connectivity and support population growth.
Rebecca has over 14 years of experience in rail infrastructure, with a career spanning engineering, operations, safety management, maintenance and project delivery. She joins from Amtrak in the United States where she was most recently Director of Engineering Production.
Throughout her career, Rebecca has worked on a range of passenger rail design projects, rail infrastructure renewals and various aspects of Class I railroad operations in the United States. She is known for driving improvements in cost, safety and quality in complex rail environments.
Turner & Townsend supports clients across the full lifecycle of infrastructure programmes, including rail, from strategic planning and business case development through to procurement, delivery and operational readiness.
John Robinson, Director and Infrastructure Lead, at Turner & Townsend in Ireland, said:
“We welcome Rebecca to our infrastructure team in Ireland. She has international experience in leadership, project delivery and strategic planning and brings a real passion for innovation and efficiency in the rail sector.”
She joins us at a time when the sector is scaling up in Ireland to meet the goals of the National Development Plan and the All-Island Strategic Rail Review.
“With Rebecca’s expertise and our growing team, we are well positioned to help our clients shape a more connected, sustainable and resilient rail network while delivering value for money every step of the way.”
