Our Team
Global Signals Group, Inc. (GSG) is a certified SBE firm formed by a team of dedicated Railroad Signal and Communications Engineers who knew they could deliver better engineering designs and service to railroad and light rail service customers worldwide.
Rande has more than 28 years of experience in designing and building railway signals and train controls. He has been a Member of The Institution of Railway Signal Engineers (MIRSE) since 2015, attained an AAS in Electrical Engineering Technology from ITT Technical Institute, successfully completed the two year BNSF Signal Apprentice Training Program with “Great Distinction”, is certified as a Tri-County Metropolitan Transportation District of Oregon Signal Maintenance Technician, and is Canadian Rail Operating Rules (CROR) and General Code of Operating Rules (GCOR) trained. His design and construction experience spans all aspects of train control systems, from relay-based interlocking controls to the latest microprocessor technologies. He has worked on design and deployment of a variety of light rail systems in Portland, Oregon, and San Diego, California, as well as the Washington County Commuter Rail system. His expertise has extended to the majority of transportation agencies throughout the Oregon Tri-County area, including Metro, Portland Bureau of Transportation, and Oregon Department of Transportation.
In addition to Rande’s vast experience, the rest of our engineering and construction team also has expertise in all aspects of rail crossing and signal projects, including commuter and freight rail systems and light rail/transit systems. Our team has experience developing both electrified (OCS and third rail) and non-electrified systems worldwide.
