Verellen has 14 years of experience working on international rail systems projects in both the public and private sector and in her career, she has contributed to a number of rail transportation projects, including the Kuala Lumpur Kelanya Jaya Line — Istanbul Metro, Dubai Metro Red Line and Green Line and Singapore Metro. Her job allows her to meet a lot of interesting people and visit places she normally would not visit, including Dubai, Singapore, Istanbul, Stockholm and as she said, “even Grain Valley, Missouri, USA.”
She has relentlessly applied her international rail experience and acumen to help WSP Canada realize the vision to be a world-class rail systems engineering team. She was given a huge opportunity by WSP’s transportation leaders, to build the rail systems engineering team and she has grown the team from employee one (herself) to more than 60 rail systems engineers and specialists by winning rail systems projects throughout Canada.
