Key Notes
An electrical, electronic or mechanical engineering qualification and experience resolving complex technical problems in a regulated safety-critical environment are essential. You’ll lead workshop engineering support for rolling stock, signalling and general engineering, translating specifications into production instructions, bills of materials and SAP master data. The permanent Acton Works role pays circa £53,774 and is hybrid; applications close 2 October 2026.
What You'll Work On
- Implement engineering specifications, changes and modifications within rolling-stock, signalling and general-engineering production processes at London Underground workshops.
- Resolve technical queries with Central Engineering, project teams and suppliers while acting as the production area’s engineering point of contact.
- Lead engineers supporting workshop delivery and coordinate technical work across large, multi-million-pound overhaul and repair projects.
- Produce work instructions, labour and material estimates, bills of materials and SAP master data aligned with drawings and London Underground standards.
Why This Role Matters
- Accurate production instructions and material data turn engineering changes into repeatable workshop work, helping safety-critical rolling stock and signalling equipment return to service correctly.
- Timely resolution of workshop technical issues protects project delivery, cost control and the reliability of assets supporting millions of passenger journeys.
