Iain Thomas

Head of Project & Construction Delivery, Metrolinx, Client Champion

Iain has worked in the construction industry for 27 years, with a proven track record of delivering major projects in both the rail (suburban and underground networks) and energy environments. He started his career in heavy civils building both a gas turbine power station and a wastewater treatment plant. He then spent 15 years delivering ever larger station upgrades, modernisations, and new stations on the London Underground subsurface network. His next role involved the three-year delivery of an energy from waste plant in Yorkshire.

In recent times he has moved into the engineering consultancy world, specifically in the project management department, managing the delivery of detailed designs for major projects in the rail and energy sectors in the UK. In 2021 Iain and his family relocated with his parent company to Toronto, Canada. Iain is now embedded within the ‘Metrolinx’ client organisation, driving project delivery of one of the largest transit upgrades globally, GO Expansion.
