Steer Davies Gleave is delighted to welcome new Director, John Dutton.

With over 30 years’ experience in the rail industry, John has held leadership roles on large multi-disciplinary projects including High Speed 1, London Underground Track Renewals Delivery, Crossrail and Heathrow Airport. He is a fellow at the Institution of Civil Engineers, the Association of Project Managers, the Charted Institution of Highways and Transportation, Permanent Way Institution and the Institute of Directors.

John started his career with Gloucester and Oxfordshire County Councils, moving to Sir Alexander Gibb & Partners, where he worked on designing the Channel Tunnel Rail Link. During his time with GIBB he developed the GIBB Rail business, and in 1999 he became the Deputy Managing Director.

In 2001 John co-founded with Andy Collinson CollinsonDutton Limited (CDL), a successful rail consultancy that provided services to rail clients in the UK, Australia and New Zealand in areas including rail engineering, asset management, project and change management, and transport strategy and planning. CDL successfully merged with GHD Ltd. in 2011. During his time at CDL, John took several key roles and projects such as Interim Head of Surface Access Projects for BAA at Heathrow Airport, and Client Package Representative on Crossrail for the delivery of the works in the Royal Oak and Westbourne Park area.

Sharon Daly, UK Managing Director at Steer Davies Gleave, said: “John is one of the UK’s leading national and international advisors in strategic rail engineering. We are delighted to welcome John to our team and to create more opportunities to provide specialist rail engineering skills and strategic insights to our clients”.
