I have developed a good working relationship with Jai to which it is refreshing to be able to speak and discuss project driven technical issues/solutions with someone in the same discipline that understands. I think it is fair to say that I have learned alot from Jai and likewise he has learned alot from myself..... which shows that he is open on his views as a manager whilst being focused on the task in hand.
In my view Jai goes that extra mile to deliver a project on time and is not afraid to step in and assist the team where required.

He will always go the extra mile to help which makes everyone else’s jobs easier by doing so.

I would go as far to say that Jai’s reputation goes a long way in helping me in my role as when you are looking for talent and mention his name I am yet to hear a bad word, everyone I speak to who knows or has worked with Jai will know that his knowledge and expertise is second to none making; this makes him a real pleasure to work with.“
“I have been working for Jai for 12 months now within the E&P department at Alstom Transport.
In this time, I have found Jai's technical ability and 20 years of engineering experience to be of great use to help me develop into a more competent power engineer.
Jai is a great manager who always has time for his team no matter how big or small the problem is. He is also very keen for his staff to develop and progress in order to make the team stronger and will support them along the way.
I see Jai as a great role model whom I've learnt lots of power engineering knowledge from in order to make me an overall stronger individual in the department.
I therefore feel Jai should be nominated as a candidate to receive an award at the RailStaff Awards 2016.“
“Jai has been my engineering manager since joining Alstom Transport in 2013 and has demonstrated a common sensed practicality when developing and evolving bespoke power applications for the railway environment.
As the Engineering manager he has offered tailored ideas that eventually progress towards product acceptance, the unique engineering ideas and designs considered in terms of whole life costs, value for money and product safety.
Jai is able to break off during his busy schedule to find quality time out to support all members of the power department offering technical advice to both site and office based staff, making reference to common day occurrences to demonstrate his valid point.
He has assisted members of the department to evolve and become competent in specific fields of excellence, promoting individuals to improve their life skills and therefore better contribute to the railway industry.
For myself, it has been a challenging period in my career and Jai’s resolve leads me to believe that he is a most worthy candidate to be a recipient of this prestigious award.“
