 Domaine  Cássio Junior, de Salvador à Dubai, symbole fort de la constitution du Domaine Rail !

Cássio Roberto Oliveira da Silva Júnior estmobilisé au Moyen‐Orient depuis le 14septembre. C'est la première expatriation d'unjeune ingénieur du projet de Salvador pourDubai, et un symbole fort de la constitutiondu Domaine Rail.

 

Arrivé depuis peu à Dubai, Cassio nous parle deson expérience…

Hello Cassio, please tell us more about your

first Egis experience in Brazil?

"I had just graduated and

got the position at Egis, as

systems engineer to workspecifically with interfaceamong systems. The projectwas the “SMSL – Sistemametroviario Salvador‐Lauro

de Freitas” – 33km of lines ﴾with 1,6km of tunnels﴿and 19 stations. The first metro station in thestate of Bahia ﴾northeast region of Brazil﴿. CCRwas the contractor and holds the concession over

... The team was composed by 19 professionalsand among those were Brazilians and Frenchpeople. Our Project Leader was IgorMontagnier, a great role‐model who taught mea lot about of what a project manager shouldbe.

What are the expected challenges in such a

change of environment for you?

In terms ofsize, theExpoLink 2020project issmaller thanthe last one,however theway it roles isquite differentfrom howBrazilians tendto do rail

projects. So it’s a challenge and a greatopportunity to develop new skills and learn amore efficient way of working in rail projects,

As per the distance from Brazil, well it is as faras it could possibly get, as the flight from Brazilto the UAE is one of the longest in operationtoday ﴾14hrs flight﴿. I had already lived abroadfor a year in England, but this is going to becompletely different.

... The Culture is entirely different and theimpact for a newcomer is huge, due to thereligion, the food, women and men relationshipand specially the environment and weather,because this place is even hotter and humidthan Brazil and that is not easy to find in theworld.  

 

You have joint the egis teams of Dubai this

September, what will you do there exactly?

I am going to performing the same role﴾Interface Engineer﴿, although I will beresponsible for more systems than the lastproject ﴾Communications, SCADA, DepotEquipment, Signaling, Fire Protection System,

the operation of the lines and was alsoresponsible for the Rail Systems, whereasConsortium Mobility Bahia ﴾formed by AndradeGutierrez and Camargo Correa﴿, was responsiblefor Civil Works. I had two internships prior tograduation, however Egis was my first experienceafter university, as a professional engineer and Icould develop both technical and managerialskills with it. Although the most important thingto me was the realization that my main goal wasto become a Project Manager one day.

also to bring back to Brazil that knowledgeand transmit it to our teams back there.

About specific scope of work, in Salvadorproject, regarding system interface andintegration, we dealt with Level 2 ﴾Rail Systems– Civil Work﴿, Level 3 ﴾between Sub‐systemseither in Rail systems or Civil Works﴿ and Level 4﴾within sub‐systems﴿ types of interface, whereasin Dubai Project, we only deal with Level 2interfaces and integration.

Tunnel Ventilation and MEP﴿, but the missionis to gather experience in a high levelinternational and multicultural project, andhead back to Brazil with that knowledge toapply in South American Projects.

The team is composed by lots of nationalities﴾Iranian, Turkish, English, Scottish, Italian,Philippine and Brazilian﴿ which is one of thegreat things about it, the multicultural side ofit.

 

Tell us about your first days? 

Most of the team members had already worked in Doha project, so they werealready integrated. I was the last one to be add, although it didn't make adifference, I was welcomed to the team and we had an really great integration﴾see picture!﴿. Regarding the Client or Contractor, as we call it here, there's agood relationship and trust that we are doing a good job. We can feel their

dependence in the integration and interface management know‐how of Egis."

 Thank you !
