Alistair Geddes has joined Costain from Balfour Beatty, where he was operations director of its rail system business.
At Balfour Beatty, Geddes looked after a number of manufacturing facilities, frameworks and projects for clients including Network Rail, Transport for Wales, Transport for London and others in the private sector. He has also held leading roles on projects including Crossrail, Hinkley Point C marine works and the London Olympic Stadium transformation.
He joins Costain on the back of a period of growth for its transportation division, having recently won a £400m contract to deliver tunnel and lineside mechanical and electrical (M&E) systems for HS2 as well as a separate award to deliver high voltage power supply systems across the entire line, worth in the region of £300m to its joint venture with Siemens Mobility.
Geddes’ appointment follows the recent appointment of Eva Soto Pérez from Morgan Sindall as engineering services general manager. [See previous report here.]
Jonathan Willcock, Costain managing director for transportation, said: “Alistair brings a wealth of experience that will support our rail sector growth as we continue to deliver the strategic needs of our customers.”
Geddes added: “Costain has an excellent reputation and heritage in delivering complex rail infrastructure that improves people’s lives. I’m looking forward to drawing on Costain’s breadth of service offerings and expertise from across the organisation to continue providing best-in-class infrastructure services to the rail industry.”
