Andrew Carey
Andrew has over 20 years working in the rail industry and has gained significant knowledge in railway control systems, project engineering and delivery, as well as signalling and rail operations.
Through his career, Andrew has developed strength in the areas of systems engineering & assurance, systems integration, requirements management, V&V and interface management. Andrew’s project experience ranges from key roles in large infrastructure projects to management and end-to- end delivery of smaller independent projects for the industry.
Much of Andrew’s experience comes from being based in project teams working at Public Transport Victoria (PTV) or in roles as part of major industry projects such as the Metro Tunnel Project (MTP), Regional Fast Rail (RFR) and Regional Rail Link (RRL) projects. Andrew has additionally gained experience in project management, including successfully bidding, managing and delivering a number of individual rail projects for industry clients such as V/Line, MTM, VicTrack and PTV and has a strong understanding of various industry stakeholders.
Under Andrew’s leadership, Alpha Systems has expanded beyond rail, applying its current and growing capabilities in systems engineering, assurance, and asset management to processing, new energy, and broader infrastructure sectors.
