What do you like about your job and the company?

Every day 1000's of people take a ride on our trains in Sydney. Our trains, for the Sydney Metro, are driverless. I get to spend time with our own engineering team, our Warranty Teams as well as the customer to make sure we are all in alignment on the day-to-day activities, ensuring a high reliability and availability.

Greatest achievements

I was the Project Validation Manager for the biggest railway project in history - in 2013. I walked in as a very experienced Rolling Stock engineer, but walked out a specialist in many fields.

Top Insider Advice

If you enjoy your work, it won't feel like a burden or chore, but rather a pleasurable activity. When you love what you do, it becomes less of a job and more of a passion, making it easier to stay motivated and engaged in your work. Ultimately, this can lead to increased productivity and success in your career.
