Congratulations to Chris Whetters, Senior Associate – Electrical at Rail Planning Services, for recently achieving the Chartered (CPEng), NER and international engineering credentials through Engineers Australia.

Chris is an electrical engineer with over 25 years’ experience in the rail industry. He has exceptional technical knowledge in various aspects of heavy rail electrical infrastructure including power systems, HV distribution and traction overhead systems.
