SYSTRA has appointed Conor Cleary as Sales Director for Ireland to help the business realise its growth ambitions in the country.
Bringing a wealth of experience in business development; strong relationships with clients; and a keen insight into the construction and infrastructure sectors in Ireland, Conor is poised to lead SYSTRA into new opportunities across a range of markets, including transport, water and energy.
Conor has a degree in construction management and started his career as an engineer before moving into project management and business development. His strategic planning and operational execution have been integral to a wealth of building and engineering projects in his 20-year career, from roads and bridges to water and energy.
As part of the Business Development team at SYSTRA Limited, Conor will work closely with our market directors – Andrew Dugdale (conventional rail, highways and mass transit), Joe Botterill (high speed rail), Gareth Davies (water and environment), and James Easty (energy and defence). Together, they are leading a collaborative approach to delivering efficient, innovative, and sustainable transport and infrastructure solutions to clients across the UK and Ireland.
Mike Muldoon, Business Development Director, said: “We’re delighted to have Conor join our team, bringing his substantial business development experience and commitment to supporting sustainable projects that deliver growth and opportunities for Ireland.
“Conor joins us at a crucial time for Ireland with the publication of the National Development Plan and a number of critical challenges to address around transport, infrastructure and the environment, and we look forward to working with him to help our Irish clients meet their goals.”

I look forward to working with the local teams in Ireland and the UK as well as colleagues from across SYSTRA’s global business to deliver sustainable, innovative and effective transport and infrastructure solutions that bring benefits to all stakeholders.
