Key Notes
Experience delivering complex rail systems and M&E projects is required, alongside an electrical, mechanical, systems engineering or related degree. You’ll assure designs, lead technical delivery through commissioning and manage interfaces across power, signalling and communications. Knowledge of Network Rail standards and assurance processes is expected, with professional membership or progress towards registration accepted.
What You'll Work On
- Review rail M&E designs against client requirements and railway standards, documenting technical assurance findings and challenging contractor proposals.
- Coordinate technical delivery from concept through commissioning, managing interfaces between signalling, power, communications and M&E work packages on rail schemes.
- Support engineering reviews and technical approvals with clients, contractors, suppliers and regulators, resolving integration issues across multidisciplinary rail projects.
Why This Role Matters
- Rail systems combine power, signalling, communications and M&E work packages, so interface decisions affect whether separately designed elements can be integrated through construction and commissioning.
- Clients and approval bodies need evidence that rail M&E designs meet requirements and railway standards; the role’s reviews provide the documented basis for technical assurance.
What They Are Looking For
- Qualification: An electrical, mechanical, systems engineering or related degree is required; relevant professional membership or progress towards registration is accepted.
- Experience: Applicants need experience delivering complex rail systems and M&E projects, including integration across multiple technical disciplines.
- Domain: Knowledge of Network Rail standards, railway assurance processes and relevant UK regulations is required.
- Technical: The role requires experience managing interfaces across signalling, communications, power and M&E work packages.
