Job Satisfaction at Queensland Rail

Our team looks at providing a high level of reliability with regard to preventative and reactive maintenance of signalling infrastructure through the use of fault investigations, asset management and other miscellaneous activities.

My day to day responsibilities involve reviewing design documentation and provide feedback on packages submitted by contractors to ensure compliance with QR standards. I also co-ordinate meetings with subject matter experts to review such design packages. So it is a half project co-ordination and half technical engineering role. Note that this is just my current rotation, in my other rotations I have done technical design work, assisted electricians in construction and done maintenance activities with reliability engineers.

My current role as a project coordinator allows me to be involved in a number of projects where I assist project managers in delivering those projects by ensuring the governance and assurance side is adhered to. I also coordinate a number of project activities such as Risk assessment workshops, stakeholder engagement, and much more.

I help manage the framework and governance related to Business Improvement projects within the Corporate Services function. I help with ad hoc tasks, process mapping and work on some of these improvement projects.
