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.
