Before that, he spent seven years as the managing director of Alstom Transport UK’s Systems, Signalling and Infrastructure Division, growing the business and winning key work from Network Rail.
He said: ‘The breadth of Costain’s service offering is a unique selling point, and I’m looking forward to building on our relationships with our Transportation customers and showing how we can meet their needs.’
Alex Vaughan, Costain’s chief executive officer, said: ‘Infrastructure will play a significant part in how we respond to the challenges of climate change and boosting economic growth.
'I know that the addition of Jonathan to our executive team will help Costain contribute positively to these challenges and support the growth and diversification of our services across the transportation market.’
Mr Willcock will join Costain in early April.
David Taylor remains interim managing director for transportation until then.
