Sean McTrustry

Central Crew Team

Summary

Given my experience from my previous role as a Master’s student, working in the engineering field and my current role as a train driver with Sydney Trains, I can bring a helpful perspective to the role of Learning Design Specialist. I have strong written communication skills, as well as a practical understanding of the Sydney Trains network, safe working as well as first-hand experience with operation of rolling stock. I'm capable of working autonomously, as well as part of a team. I am currently certified in European Train Control/Automatic Train Protection Level 1 and feel this will be helpful knowledge and experience i can contribute to the team. I would be excited to develop my career within Sydney Trains and I see this position as a Learning Design Specialist as a great opportunity to learn more about the business as well as offer my unique experience to the team.
