The faces behind RailEI

Our People

A community like no other

The vast network of professionals, engineers and rail enthusiasts that make up our Institution is our greatest asset, and one that continues to serve our membership base – and the industry – on an unprecedented scale. It is through this network of talent that we have been able to achieve our Professional Engineering Institution status, putting RailEI on par with other leading Professional Institutions. While we mostly operate in the UK and serve the rail industry of Great Britain, our community is global and we are constantly expanding our presence and influence in other countries.

RailEI comprises a Board of Directors, a central Executive Team that includes Membership, Operations and Marketing, a Technical team plus Section Committees that span the whole of the UK and beyond. We also have a network of Ambassadors who provide a bridge between our central teams, our Members and Fellows, and our Corporate and Heritage Railway Member organisations. And last but not least, we have our trusted Volunteers who regularly get involved in any way they can. Together, these individuals and groups form a collective of some of the most technically experienced and qualified talent in the industry, and through this unique community, we achieve our mission.
