Electrical
No rail transport company can operate without electricity and machinery. In Queensland Rail, our electrical engineers ensure the maintenance of our equipment, with the main areas including power and overhead traction, signalling, operational systems and telecommunications.
Power and overhead traction engineers design and monitor the overhead electrical services delivering power to our City network and Traveltrain.
Signalling plays a critical role to ensure that our train services run safely and efficiently on our network. Operational systems engineers work with leading software technologies to design train management systems and support systems for our signalling network.
Our telecommunications network spans our rail network – all 7,500km’s of it.
Telecommunications engineers design systems that monitor and control signalling and train management systems to internal communication systems as well as plan, install, test and commission new communications infrastructure.
