With five years in the industry, Vi is a passionate advocate for rail signalling and systems engineering. “I love solving the unique and challenging problems that signalling presents,” she said. “Projects succeed when people come together. The problems we tackle are bespoke and complex, so no one can know everything. Through the leadership skills I will develop in the Future Leaders Program, combined with real‑world experience, I want to be the person who brings teams of experts together to help clients solve the most complex issues. It’s challenging—and exciting.”
