Arup has appointed John Fagan as Global Business Leader for Rail bolstering its commitment to developing major rail programmes.
With over 20 years of experience in the industry, the expertise of John Fagan spans operational planning, business case development, feasibility studies, front-end engineering, and technical leadership on complex rail programmes.
Fagan has played a pivotal role in delivering high-impact projects including the TransPennine Route Upgrade and HS2 and has been a strategic advisor to the British Department for Transport on its rail reform programme.

“Rail networks are a canvas for national transformation, creating jobs, stimulating industries and forming the backbone of economic development. I’m thrilled to lead our rail business into its next chapter of global growth, supporting our clients world-wide to reimagine what’s possible for rail: from how projects are funded to how they are designed, delivered and maintained,” John Fagan, Global Business Leader for Rail, said.
