Rail System Engineer
De Inktpot, Utrecht, Netherlands
Specialised system engineer focussing on complex technical solutions regarding (Industrial) Automation, Electrical Engineering (Traction Power supply, Catenary), Movable Bridges and Tunnel Systems. More and more field applications are being digitalized and connected (IoT, Lan-Wan, Scada, etc). The need for a thorough understanding and integral view is essential. Cyber security, Machine Directive and Human-Machine Interface as well as the strive for uniformity makes this an overall complex and integral field of discipline. Currently working on projects regarding the Willemsspoortunnel, Bridge crossing the Oude Maas and the renewal of Traction-EV automation cabinets throughout the Netherlands. I am also part of TEV-group at ProRail as a Rail System Engineer. My task is (amongst others) writing public tenders, reviewing contracts with contractors / engineering consultancies, etc. The work involves contracts such as Electrification Zwolle - Wierden, Electrification Maaslijn and several more smaller renovation and renewal jobs for the different ProRail regional offices.
