Rare opportunity to contribute to a high-impact rail technology project

Your new company

This is a rare opportunity to contribute to high-impact rail technology projects that span legacy infrastructure and cutting-edge systems. You’ll work alongside engineering and operations teams to modernise rail networks, supporting some of Australia’s largest rail operations.


Your new role

As a Rail Technology Architect, you’ll play a pivotal role in evaluating, designing, and integrating rail systems across mining environments. You’ll bridge the gap between technical teams and operational stakeholders, ensuring solutions are both innovative and pragmatic.

Key Responsibilities
  • Lead technology evaluation and selection for rail systems
  • Design and integrate solutions across legacy and modern infrastructure

Key Skills & Technologies
  • Driver Advisory Systems (DAS)
  • SAP Transportation Management (SAP TM)
  • Siemens Rail Systems (signalling, onboard tech)
  • Rail telemetry, SCADA, and control systems
  • Railway safety and compliance technologies
  • Integration of legacy rail infrastructure with modern tech

What You’ll Bring
  • Experience across multiple organisations (not a career lifer)
  • Exposure to mining rail projects (e.g., Rio Tinto, BHP, FMG, Aurizon)
  • Comfort working with older infrastructure and adapting modern tech
  • Experience in both government and private sector rail projects
  • Strong communication skills to liaise between tech and operations
  • Analytical mindset with a pragmatic approach to legacy systems
  • Contractor mindset – thrives in short-term, high-impact roles

What you'll get in return

  • Work on transformative rail projects
  • Collaborate with industry leaders and technical experts
  • Flexible contract arrangements with potential for extension
  • Competitive daily rate and Perth-based engagement
