Meet Andrew Varnavides, Head of Project Engineering for Team Hitachi in Australia. Together, Andrew and his team of expert engineers deliver complex systems to transform rail networks across Australia.

Every day, it’s my privilege to lead skilled project engineers to deliver complex systems to transform rail networks across Australia.

A big part of our role at Hitachi Rail is to support upgrades and innovations that increase the capacity and efficiency of our clients’ rail networks.

We partner with clients to develop and advance the signalling, train control and communications systems that underpin their rail operations. It’s our job to ensure system compatibility, performance, issue resolution and comprehensive risk management.

My holistic view from system design to implementation, is backed by meticulous attention to detail at every step. We are driven by crystal-clear understanding of client needs and collaborate closely with many stakeholders, from operational staff to maintenance specialists.

We’re so proud of our work in helping revolutionise heavy freight and passenger rail, driving real gains in efficiency, safety and sustainability.
