Background

About Rui Matos

I am graduated in Electrical Engineering and I have been working since 1994 in the railway sector for national and international companies. During all these years my career has led me to specialize in the management of complex national and international projects. Thanks to this I'm able to work with different problems and with a team solve them. AI possess a solid knowledge in the coordination of railway projects, Strategic Planning; Design; Interface; Inspection; operating within the tight financial disciplines imposed by ambitious budgets; methodical administration to deadlines (not to speak of crisis management when necessary); and the application of modern leadership methods (through staff motivation and target-setting, clarity in communication, and easy personal inter-relations). I was also responsible for the catenary material validation, negotiation with suppliers, according to the specifications and international standardization. Within the professional experience and projects involved, both in terms of project planning as the level of control assemblies are known several types of overhead contact lines, including: Portuguese Catenary (REFER - LP10, LP12, tram and LCS); Rigid Catenary; French Catenary (SNCF); Spanish Catenary (Renfe - CR-160 and CR-220)(Adif – high speed); Tram Catenary UK - Series 1, Series 2, UK1, Geff, UK master series, OLEMI.
