Kristyn Lehman  ‌|‌  Arup

Hi, my name is Kristyn Lehman and I work as a Track and Civil Engineer for Arup in Brisbane. I’ve been working in the rail industry for over 8 years now.

I’ve recently started designing and boarding my skills in the rail alignment side, my previous design experience has been more around combined services routes (CSR) for High voltage and low voltage requirements for signalling, OHLE and traction power.

In my spare time I enjoy catching up with friends and family and going to the beach.

I grew up in the Dandenong Ranges east of Melbourne and attended Monash Uni, where I studied Aerospace Engineering and was lucky enough to go on exchanges to Malaysia and the US.  I joined the rail industry as a mechanical rollingstock graduate at Jacobs, before spending two years as a maintenance engineer at Yarra Trams. I’ve recently joined SNC-Lavalin as a Senior Rollingstock Consultant. Outside of work I love surfing, live music and spending time with friends and family.
