Arup, a global sustainable development consultancy, is pleased to announce the appointment of Thomas Rapley as its new Water Business Leader in Canada.
Based in Toronto, Thomas will play a pivotal role in advancing Arup’s capabilities and enhancing services for water-sector clients. He will oversee and lead significant water commissions, grow and nurture client relationships, and deliver projects across our advisory, consultancy, and engineering service offerings.
Thomas has more than two decades of municipal infrastructure design and construction experience in Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand. He has spent the last 18 years of his career involved in a wide range of water-related planning, strategy, design, and construction projects in Ontario and across Canada. His most recently completed work on the 40 megaliter Victoria Reservoir in Peel Region delivered critical infrastructure for the region’s water network allowing for continued growth and future resiliency for residential water supply.
“I look forward to growing Arup’s water business in Canada and being a hands-on contributor across the various stages of our projects,” says Thomas. “Water, in all its forms, connects us all and is critical to every aspect of the built and natural environment, and is our most precious resource. I’m excited to be playing a key role in water here at Arup for our current generation, and those to come.”
Arup works across the entire water cycle, with utilities, local and regional governments, commercial and domestic water users and other partners.
