1 Introduction Engineering authority is the authority delegated by the RailCorp Executive Management Team (EMT) to discipline heads to make engineering decisions relating to the integrity of assets that fall under their purview. The NSW Rail Safety Act requires that persons involved in rail infrastructure designs and related works are competent to carry out that work. Competence of design personnel involved in designing RailCorp assets is recognised through the delegation of engineering authority by discipline heads to the design personnel.

2 Scope This procedure

• describes the process of delegating engineering authority for design by discipline heads

• provides requirements and guidelines for engineering authority applications • describes the roles that engineering authority is applicable.

This procedure should be read in conjunction with EPA 240 Design Competence Framework.

In this procedure, engineering authority refers to engineering authority for engineering design. For the background and regulatory framework concerning engineering authority, refer SPA 280 Process for Acceptance Of Engineering Design.

This procedure does not apply when RailCorp is not the design authority for a particular asset or an asset class.

3 Purpose This procedure provides a means for delegation of engineering authority to individuals that have been allocated a competency level that satisfies the design tasks that they have been nominated for, thus complying with the Rail Safety Act requirements on competence of design personnel.

5 Terms and definitions competence the ability to perform tasks and duties to a required standard

design (verb) the process of defining, synthesising, selecting, and describing solutions to requirements in terms of products and processes. In RailCorp context it also includes investigation activities undertaken in the course of design such as survey and geotechnical investigations.

design (noun) the product of the process of designing that describes the solution (conceptual, preliminary or detailed) of the system, system elements or system end items. In RailCorp context it also includes reports and data sets produced in design investigations.

design personnel those involved in the design process making decisions affecting the design and includes designers, checkers, verifiers and acceptors of designs, and others that provide information and recommendations on which designs are based

Note: Design personnel who sign off on “designed” on RailCorp drawings are referred to as “designers”.

discipline head the person recognised as having responsibility for assuring technical integrity of a particular class of assets (e.g. Chief Engineer Track being responsible for assuring technical integrity of track infrastructure) (from SMS-12-PR-0371)

engineering authority the authority to make and approve engineering decisions. The scope of engineering authority extends to the preparation and approval of specifications, detail design proposals, construction and maintenance processes and standards, as well as products and systems used within the engineering support task.

may indicates the existence of an option

PSPs Professional Service Providers

shall indicates that a statement is mandatory

should indicates a recommendation

technical review a review of proposed concepts and key design assumptions against specified requirements at each design stage (refer EPD 0013)

verification the process carried out to ensure that the output of a design stage (or stages) meets the design stage input requirements (refer EPD 0011)

validation the process of ensuring that the final product conforms to defined user (customer) needs and/or requirements (refer EPD 0012)

6 Categories of design personnel For engineering authority delegation, design personnel are categorised by their method of engagement with RailCorp as follows:

Internal design personnel

• RailCorp design staff — design personnel that are RailCorp employees • RailCorp contract staff — individual contract design staff hired to work from RailCorp

premises. With

External design personnel

• design personnel working through Professional Service Providers (PSPs) contracted by RailCorp to provide design services on RailCorp projects:

• design personnel working through PSPs engaged by other organisations such as TCA and RailCorp alliances to undertake rail engineering projects

• design personnel working with external organisations providing services through management agreements with RailCorp to undertake technical reviews on behalf of RailCorp.

7 Delegated engineering authority Only persons who have been delegated engineering authority shall make and approve decisions on RailCorp assets with regard to designs including the creation and revision of standards and similar documents.

In situations where RailCorp does not maintain specialised knowledge pertaining to the design of an asset, it is recognised that the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) holds the engineering authority for the design.

8 Requirements for delegating engineering authority

8.1 Criteria for delegating engineering authority Engineering authority for design shall only be delegated to an individual, that is, not to an organisation or a design team. For engineering authority to be delegated:

a) the individual shall be nominated for a design role that requires engineering authority

b) the individual shall have been assessed as having the necessary levels of competence to carry out the tasks covered by the authority

c) the design organisation in which the individual exercises engineering authority shall utilise quality design processes and procedures in producing designs, refer Section 8.2

8.2 Organisational design procedures For engineering authority to be delegated to a person nominated by an organisation intending to undertake engineering design work for RailCorp, the organisation shall have an established well-documented quality design process. This may be established through third party certification of the organisational design processes. In the absence of such, by any other means satisfactory to the discipline head including an audit by the RailCorp quality auditors.

design checker checks the design and certifies correctness of calculations and assumptions (the person shall not be directly responsible for producing the design) – refer EPD 0011 under “design checking”

design reviewer * provides a full check of a design

independent design checker

checks the design for correctness through independent means (the person shall have had no involvement in developing the design) – refer EPD 0011 under “independent design checks”

design verifier ensures the design output for each design stage is consistent with the design input for that stage – refer EPD 0011

* applicable to signal design

The following roles have limited or specific functions or conditions.

Name of design role Functions and conditions

design validator ensures the final product conforms to user (customer) specifications and requirements – refer EPD 0012

technical reviewer

checks that the specifications are fulfilled by the design at defined milestones – refer EPD 0013

design approver

certifies that the design has followed authorised processes and meets requirements, and is ready for acceptance – refer EPD 0010. For design approver role, engineering authority is required for internal design personnel only.

acceptance authority

Accepts design for use by RailCorp – refer EPD 0010. Internal only, usually reserved for discipline head.

9 Competence levels for engineering authority Design competence assessment shall be in accordance with EPA 240.

Engineering authority is only delegated to persons who have been assessed as having Level 1 or 2 competence to carry out the rail engineering design tasks that they have been nominated for.

For some design roles or tasks, the higher level of competence may be specified by the discipline head.

Design personnel are not authorised to make engineering decisions in the areas they have Level 3 competence.

10 Conditions for holding engineering authority For as long as the criteria are met, engineering authority at the assessed levels of competence is deemed to exist for the duration of the period of approval.

Engineering authority holders are only authorised to exercise that authority within the defined limits of the delegation. With

11 Engineering authority delegation – Internal design personnel Engineering authority is delegated to internal design personnel based on the outcome of the competence assessment described in EPA 240.

For internal design personnel, engineering authority is delegated through assignment of work within their allocated competency domain.

12 Engineering authority delegation – External design personnel

12.1 General Engineering authority may be delegated to Professional Service Providers (PSPs) when engaged directly by RailCorp through a tender or when engaged by other organisations such as TCA and RailCorp alliances to work on RailCorp projects.

For external design personnel, engineering authority is valid for the particular engagement only.

12.2 Design personnel engaged through a tender process When design personnel are to be engaged by tender, RailCorp should nominate in the tender documentation the design roles that require engineering authority. Tenderers should be requested to submit, with their tenders, competence related information for the proposed design personnel for each of the roles requiring engineering authority. The tender evaluation panel together with the relevant discipline heads or their nominees shall assess the suitability of the individuals nominated for the design roles and shall advise the winning tenderer of the approved design team and the roles for which each individual has been delegated engineering authority.

12.3 Design personnel engaged during a project External organisations that engage design personnel when delivering projects for RailCorp shall apply to the relevant discipline head for engineering authority for individuals nominated for roles in their design team structure. The relevant discipline head is determined by reference to Appendix A.

12.4 Conditions for carrying out design Organisations shall not embark on design of projects for RailCorp without first obtaining engineering authority for the proposed individuals in the design team.

Only design personnel approved for the project shall be used in their nominated roles when undertaking design tasks.

13.4 Supporting information

13.4.1 General The Rail Safety Act requires RailCorp to ensure that persons involved in rail-related design have the required competence. There should be sufficient information in the applications to provide assurance that the competence of each applicant matches the competence required for the tasks in the prospective project. The information would be used by the PSPs in their verification of competence of the applicant in Section 13.2e).

For Section 13.2g), sufficient information to support an engineering authority application can be in the form of cross-references to the evidence in the CV or other documents.

13.4.2 Evidence of competence This relates to Section 13.3b)i). For each task or application, there are defined qualifications, skills and experience in discipline competency manuals or matrices. Applicants should provide cross references to their CV and other documents that point out the evidence for the qualifications, skills and experience that meet each requirement and to justify the level of competence indicated in the self-assessment.

A history or list of past experience by itself does not relate the applicant’s competence to the required competence for the prospective project. Specific elements of the applicant’s qualifications, skills and experience should be highlighted by cross references or other means to indicate which task or skill and level of competence they fulfil in the competency manual of matrix.

13.4.3 Evidence of experience related to the project This relates to Section 13.3b)ii). Applicants should provide cross references to their CV and other documents that point out the experience that relates to the prospective project. If previous experience was with a non-RailCorp project, then a description of the previous project’s scope, technical aspects, complexity, scale and other information should be provided.

The specific tasks, items designed, etc carried out by the applicant on the previous project should also be described and related to the work to be carried out on the new project.

13.5 Request for additional information Delegation of engineering authority to proposed design personnel is at the discretion of the relevant discipline head and where insufficient information has been supplied in an engineering authority application, a discipline head may request that additional information be provided prior to making a determination.

13.6 Interviews If the discipline head is unable to make a determination based on the information provided, the discipline head may elect to invite the applicant to an interview to seek further information to establish the competence of the applicant to hold engineering authority for the design roles requested. The engineering authority applicant may be required to:

• answer questions in relation to the specific engineering activities that have been undertaken in support of the competence claimed

With

• produce documents such as engineering plans, drawings, or a document carrying calculations to substantiate claims to have met particular competencies.

14 Response by discipline head — External design personnel Discipline heads shall use the appropriate form (EPA 241 FM02 Engineering Authority Assessment Outcome form on RailCorp Intranet site) to respond to applications for engineering authority for external design personnel. The response should clearly state the scope and limitations of the engineering authority delegation. In the event of a rejected application, the discipline head shall provide the reasons for the application being rejected and conditions for a reassessment.

15 Staff working under supervision (Level 3) RailCorp recognises that experience is required to obtain appropriate competence levels and that suitable experience may be obtained under supervision. A reasonable amount of Level 3 design personnel participation in a project design team is encouraged. However, discipline heads may restrict the amount of Level 3 design personnel. The design supervisor shall have appropriate engineering authority.

Staff working under supervision shall be supervised by a person with engineering authority and a higher level of competence in the relevant skill or topic. The supervisor is responsible for the design and shall countersign all design work performed by the staff member under supervision.

All designs and design drawings with input by staff working under supervision shall be signed off by a designer and checked by another person, both with appropriate engineering authority. The person checking shall not be the supervisor.

For engineering authority applications from external design organisations, staff working under supervision should be identified in the design team structure with a role such as Trainee – Earthing. A career log book, suitably endorsed by the design supervisor, may be kept by the staff member showing the scope and extent of the input to each design.

16 Withdrawal or reduction in scope of engineering authority In the case of a serious breach or an error of judgment, an engineering authority holder may be asked to show cause why their engineering authority shall not be reduced in scope or revoked.

A discipline head may withdraw an engineering authority if the discipline head:

a) becomes aware that the engineering authority was issued due to materially false or misleading representations or documents

b) the engineering authority holder exhibits poor performance that brings into question the competence of the individual to continue to practice in the discipline area

If the discipline head proposes to withdraw an engineering authority, the discipline head shall give the engineering authority holder a notice stating —

a) that the discipline head proposes to withdraw the engineering authority

b) the grounds for the proposed withdrawal

c) the facts and circumstances that are the basis for the grounds

d) that the engineering authority holder may make written representations within a 21 day calendar period to show why the engineering authority shall not be withdrawn.

Based on the response received, the discipline head shall make a final determination.

If engineering authority is withdrawn or reduced, appropriate RailCorp databases shall be updated as necessary.

17 Records for engineering authority delegation

17.1 Registry of competence and engineering authority delegation Each design discipline shall maintain records of engineering authority delegation together with the records of competence.

17.2 Handling of records Electronic and hard copy records shall be managed in accordance with SMS-05-SR-0027.

Consideration should be given to retaining relevant records with the project or contract files.

18 Responsibilities

18.1 Discipline heads Responsibilities of discipline heads are:

• determine design competencies and levels applicable to discipline specific design tasks for delegating engineering authority

• ensure records are kept of competencies and engineering authority delegations • delegate engineering authority to design personnel for undertaking design tasks for

RailCorp assets • exercise authority to reduce or withdraw engineering authority granted to persons

who have under performed or breached the level of authority granted to them.
