Experience that translates
a u s t r a l i a
Heavy haul, freight and metropolitan networks — construction, maintenance and asset strategy.
For more than 20 years, I have built, maintained, and optimised heavy-industry railways across Australia, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia—delivering extensive greenfield and brownfield projects ranging from remote field construction and mainline track laying to depot facilities and long-term network renewals.
Backed by hands-on experience managing mechanical support teams, rolling stock, and complex track methodologies (including ballasted and slab track systems), my background shapes how Zenith Rail works: advice is grounded in what actually happens at the track, in the depot, and across the supply chain.
Whether overseeing large-scale tier-1 project milestones or driving safety-first maintenance regimes for mining, freight, and passenger rail, I ensure strategies are written to be executed, specifications to be built, and investment cases to survive scrutiny.
