Based out of our Sydney office, Maud returns having previously worked for SYSTRA from 2009 through to 2019 which included a relocation from Paris to Sydney in 2014.

“We are thrilled to welcome Maud back to our business,” says Rob Scarbro, Director – Systems, SYSTRA. He adds, “Maud will play a crucial role in helping us strengthen our position as the Systems Integrator of choice across the Australian and New Zealand markets.

“She will offer our existing clients outstanding technical expertise where she specialises in rail operations planning, with a particular emphasis on operational modelling. She will also play a key role in helping us win work and grow our team.”

At a time when significant upgrades to our rail network are set to be rolled out as well as major investment in High-Speed Rail, Maud’s expertise in complex rail systems including the integration of ETCS and CBTC will be crucial to helping our clients navigate what will be a unique period of change.

“There is so much opportunity ahead for the ANZ market with the rail system in both regions undergoing significant change,” says Maud.

She adds, “Operational Planning will be important to the success of these projects in that we will be working closely with our Integration team to ensure the systems and technologies achieve their desired objectives. I’m excited to be back, working closely with our clients across the full lifecycle of projects to ensure interoperable networks are achieved.”

Within the Operational Modelling space, Maud believes that with these exciting projects in the pipeline, there is a lot of room for us to push the boundaries of innovation, using data and technology to achieve safety and productivity benefits across the industry.

She says, “I’m looking forward to being at the forefront of that change, upholding our core values of bold leadership, excellence and connected teams to make this period of change one of great benefit to our clients and the community.”
