Electric train travelling through a lit rail tunnel at night, with overhead electrification equipment

Projects

Project experience

Jebel Electrical Services Pty Ltd was founded in 2024.

Every project below is the principal engineer's personal career experience, built over more than ten years working in rail, renewables, infrastructure and industrial plant [CONFIRM B7], not a contract held by the company, unless stated otherwise.

Rail & Transport

Rail & Transport

ETCS Level 2 onboard signalling

Queensland rail fleets (IMU160 & SMU260) [CONFIRM D1 — naming the rail operator and rolling-stock manufacturer]

ETCS Level 2 · Design · Safety case

Scope

System requirements, architecture and onboard interface design to integrate ETCS Level 2 train protection into new-build and in-service fleets. Onboard architecture and subsystem interface definition; electrical interface and wiring design to AS/NZS 3000 and international standards.

Standards

AS/NZS 3000; FMECA; Fault Tree Analysis

Outcome

FMECA and Fault Tree Analysis outcomes closed out in preliminary design review. [CONFIRM D1 — year(s) and role held at the time]

Rail & Transport

Diesel Tilt Train electrical & entertainment upgrade

Queensland rail overhaul [CONFIRM D2 — naming the operator and overhaul contractor]

Systems engineering · Design lead

Scope

Detailed design of electrical and entertainment systems for a Diesel Tilt Train overhaul, delivered as part of a multi-engineer design team. [CONFIRM D2 — team size and the principal's specific role at the time; a prior employer's design team, not a Jebel Electrical Services Pty Ltd team] System requirements, hazard log and Safety in Design documentation.

Standards

rail operator safety-management standards [CONFIRM — the old site used both "SEMS" and "QR Safety Management Standards" for what may be the same deliverable; this page does not assert either term is correct until the client confirms]

Outcome

Functional demonstration via formal test bench exhibit.

Rail & Transport

EMU fleet test & commissioning

75 six-car EMUs, Wulkuraka, QLD [CONFIRM D3 — employer at the time, and permission to cite the fleet size]

Testing & commissioning · Accreditation

Scope

Site acceptance and performance testing across all onboard systems, through to customer accreditation. Fire alarm, traction converters, brakes, doors, train control and management systems (TCMS), and communications systems.

Standards

testing and commissioning procedures, safety notices and test reports

Outcome

On-track dynamic brake and reliability testing witnessed by the customer; fleet accredited.

Infrastructure

Cable trays and conduit reticulated across a plant-room ceiling

Infrastructure

Tunnel electrical installation

Brisbane [CONFIRM D4 — naming the alliance/contractor, and year; Legacy Way Tunnel opened 2015]

Construction · Work packs

Scope

Site engineering support for tunnel electrical construction: work packages, constructability review and technical support to the installation team. Operational and maintenance manuals, vendor drawing and RFI control.

Standards

Infrastructure

Hospital HV upgrade

Darwin, NT [CONFIRM D5 — naming the contractor, and year]

HV · Commissioning

Scope

Installation, testing and commissioning of high-voltage infrastructure across a live hospital campus: ring main units, neutral earth resistors and transformers; HV and LV cable management, standby generation and UPS; cable route planning, procurement direction and AS/NZS 3000 compliance advice.

Standards

AS/NZS 3000; high voltage

Outcome

Commissioned in a live facility.

Defence & Industrial

Defence & Industrial

Defence facility electrical maintenance

Darwin bases, NT [CONFIRM D6 — naming permission, and whether "Defence" may be named at all]

Defence & Industrial

Remote-site asset maintenance programme

Nauru [CONFIRM D7 — naming permission, and whether naming the location is appropriate]

Remote site · Diagnostics

Scope

Electrical asset maintenance on a remote island operation: diagnosis, calibration, repair and work-order management; reactive and planned maintenance to quality and safety procedures; faulty asset quantification and reporting to management.

Standards

quality and safety procedures

Outcome

not stated on the original source; none invented here.

Renewables

Solar panels installed on the sawtooth roof of an industrial building

Renewables

Solar PV design and yield analysis

Brisbane / South East Queensland [CONFIRM D8 — naming permission and system sizes]

Solar PV · Feasibility

Scope
