Staff Interview Subway Maintenance Engineer (civil engineering track)
Last Updated January 14, 2022
Subway Maintenance Engineer (House Line) T.M.
Joined the office in 2015. Currently, he is in charge of wire maintenance at the Niwa Maintenance Management Office.
He is from the Department of Mechanical Engineering and had belonged to the automobile club when he was in college, so he dashing special vehicles on board.
Even small cracks will not be missed by using the five senses.
"Yes!"
Originally, I had a loud voice, but when I found a slight crack in the rail around the track, I screamed especially loudly. "Oh, where did you find it well." As my seniors find it first, I can't forget the joy of being praised in this way.
Rails are creatures, so slight cracks, distortion, and wear occur in supporting trains every day.
The maintenance staff of the facility area patrols and find them using their eyes, ears, and five senses.
For example, if you hit the rail bolts of the rail with a hammer and a high metal sound with "pakin" is a proof that it is loose.
If you feel an unusual noise on the rail when passing a train, apply water, and if soaked, there is a crack.
And if there is an urgent need to reinforce it even if the train is stopped.
It's a moment when you feel, "If we don't do it, the train won't move."
The unity of the facility district to be tested by rail replacement.
Among them, the flower shape business of the maintenance line is to replace the rails at midnight.
It is very dynamic to cut off the rails that have reached their lifespan while splashing sparks and replacing them with new rails.
The team will work together to complete the exchange from the last train to the first train, but the seniors quickly instruct the division of roles and move their subordinates. Looking at his back, I feel that someday I want to be a person who can gain strength and pulls my subordinates.
What seniors often say is "Steal your work and remember your work!" 。
For example, all the track conditions are included in the head of my senior, and at the moment it is "inspection at 10 km", you can immediately see that "the curve there needs this tool."
If you look at such a way, every day you learn with your body.
At the site, sometimes harsh words sometimes flutter, but after work, everyone staying at the night talk, "What do you eat today?" And make curry and ginger grilled.
This unity may lead to mistakes-free maintenance activities.
I want to do my best even in the event of an earthquake for important people.
The other day, when I was on the first car to experience the shaking or abnormal noise on the car, I happened to meet a childhood friend or a teacher in charge of elementary school.
They said, "I saw work clothes for the first time" and "I'm doing my best," and I thought I had to do it more and more.
Above all, I would like to meet the expectations of my father, who is engaged in air conditioning business. I think that the experience of taking me to the field since I was in junior high school and let me see the world of craftsmen led me to this job.
With the many earthquakes in recent years, the role of keeping tracks will become increasingly important to quickly restore trains.
That's why I would like to rush first and join the track inspection in the event of an earthquake.
At the moment the Earthquake Early Warning appears on your smartphone, I have already feathers and are preparing for it.
Each question and answer
Q： When were you about to be disappointed?
A： When you are not used to the cycle of day and night reversals during night shift work. I was saved by the advice of seniors who had the same experience.
Q： Who do you respect other than seniors?
A： Father. Because it is a hit on the ground, we still cannot keep up with our wealth of knowledge and judgment.
Q： Will you be deprived of AI someday?
A： No matter how advanced AI is, human hands are needed for delicate maintenance that makes full use of the five senses.
Q： What kind of self-promotion did you do during the interview?
A： He stressed that he was confident in his physical strength. But it was more than I imagined (laughs).
A word from Mr. Y.M.
At the beginning of the station, I was surprised to see that there were professionals specialized in each department, such as wire maintenance, electricity, and maintenance.
The knowledge of the seniors who have mastered their work is amazing.
