Key Notes
Railway traffic-management systems are developed from bids and specifications through testing and installation in this lead engineering post. It owns requirements, data production and integration testing, including post-commissioning fault analysis. The permanent, full-time role is office/site based; Derby is emphasised in the body while Birmingham and Chippenham are also listed. Rail-signalling experience and engineering qualifications are specified.
What You'll Work On
- Design, develop and deliver Railway Traffic Management Systems with a multidisciplinary engineering team through the full project and solution lifecycle.
- Develop system and end-user requirements and manage data production and checking so implementation reflects the agreed technical needs.
- Lead system and integration testing, applying the required technical and safety standards across the traffic-management project’s engineering activities.
- Participate in FRACAS and investigate problems after commissioning, coordinating technical solutions across teams responsible for the deployed railway systems.
Why This Role Matters
- Rail traffic-management systems receive defined requirements and integration testing, helping engineering teams check that the implemented solution meets customer needs and technical standards.
- Post-commissioning problems can inform system improvements through FRACAS and cross-team investigation, connecting observed failures with engineering responses to future reliability concerns.
What They Are Looking For
- Qualification: Relevant qualifications include an HNC/HND in engineering or a related subject and membership of a relevant engineering institution.
- Experience: Systems-engineering experience and railway signalling involving VDU control centres, train describers and TDM are sought.
- Preferred: AWS, Mendix, GitLab and railway control-system or operational knowledge are desirable.
