Rail
The acquisition of the right leaders is more crucial than ever to rail organizations as the industry continues to evolve at high-speed
The competitive and fast-evolving nature of the rail industry means it has been redefined locally, regionally and globally. Companies must now provide solutions and services that go beyond moving people and products from one point to the next. To achieve this, manufacturers and service providers require exceptional leaders.
Odgers Berndtson provides rail organizations with access to talented candidates with the experience needed to drive their business to the next level of creative and positive growth. Our deep industry experience with rail infrastructure owners and train operators ensures our clients secure the best executives in the field.
Canada
Although the rail industry in Canada remains in direct competition with the airlines, its offerings trail those available from many of its global counterparts.
Canadian rail companies need leadership that can oversee the refurbishment of the country’s aging rail infrastructure. To win back and sustain their customer base, they also need individuals with marketing and customer experience backgrounds, as well as knowledge of leading rail innovations, such as those in Europe and Asia. Technical skills—for example, in maintenance and engineering—are also in short supply. And skills in digital, logistics, purchasing, transportation and merchandising are in demand to support railways’ entrance into the full-service logistics space.
Odgers Berndtson has a long history of delivering top talent to the Canadian rail industry, through our access to a growing global talent network and our ability to fill difficult industry gaps by leveraging transferrable skills.
