Yarra Trams Substation and Contractor Induction
With over 3 years of experience in the field, Xavier brings a wealth of expertise in engineering design, project management, and construction
supervision.
His recent role as an asset inspection team member for ACAP at Agonis Group, navigating the metropolitan train and tram network, has provided him with comprehensive insights into rail safety procedures, engineering protocols, and a deep understanding of the rail network's lifecycle from design to wear.
At Wastech Engineering, Xavier demonstrated proficiency in end-to-end project management, emphasising clear communication and ensuring efficient transitions from design to manufacturing. His ability to rapidly assimilate new software and technology will be an asset in adapting to Yarra Trams' project management systems.
With hands-on experience in on-site installation, quality assurance, and project coordination, Xavier stands out for delivering timely construction methodology reviews, fostering strong stakeholder relationships, and providing astute technical advice.
ASSET INSPECTION ENGINEER
ACAP | Agonis Group | May 2023 – Present
Xavier was responsible for planning to inspect assets across the metropolitan train and tram network utilising PASS Assets and Fulcrum Asset Management Inspection
Platform. He learned the valuable skills of safely navigating a day working in and around the tram and rail corridor.
Responsibilities
• Delivering pre-start requirements and safe working on track with the additional hazards outlined in the daily RHSWAs and SWMSs.
• Reporting including Immediate Observation Reports (IOR)
• Inspecting various mechanical, civil and electrical assets alongside group leaders who are experts in each engineering field.
• Liaise with Tram and Train operators and staff, contractors and key stakeholders.
This provided many insights into the workings of the rail network, including how each asset worked and possible faults that could occur during its lifecycle. A broad range of equipment was seen, from those newly installed to components nearing the end of life, providing a general overview of how the rail network has developed. Being involved in a rail project for the past three months has developed his awareness of the safety procedures, engineering and timelines associated with projects within the rail industry.
