You will ensure engineering requirements, standards, safety obligations, and customer expectations are fully met throughout the delivery lifecycle.

You will often act as the Project Engineering Manager (PEM) on medium-scale projects or lead engineering packages on larger programmes, coordinating multi-disciplinary inputs, managing technical risk and ensuring robust integration, testing and assurance.

  • Ensuring all engineering work complies with relevant standards, processes, technical specifications and safety obligations (CDM/CSM)
  • Coordinating technical interfaces across disciplines, suppliers, and subcontractors, ensuring "right first time" integration
  • Acting as the engineering representative to the PM, client, suppliers, and internal teams ensuring consistent communication of requirements, changes and engineering status
Your success will be grounded by
  • Degree in Electrical, Electronic, Systems or related Engineering discipline (or equivalent experience)
  • Strong engineering delivery experience in SCADA, SISS, Control Systems or large-scale integration projects
  • Proven capability delivering across the full engineering lifecycle; requirements, design, integration, test, V&V and commissioning
  • Experience acting as Work Package Manager, technical lead or PEM on scoped project elements
  • Strong understanding of rail infrastructure environments, construction/installation constraints and operational railway practices and the ability to demonstrate managing requirements, configuration, change and engineering assurance processes effectively
  • Background in multi-discipline environments such as SCADA, SISS, control systems, telecoms, M&E or line wide system integration and software-intensive systems (desirable)
