Key Notes
Operational communications and networks are the principal portfolio for this Glasgow rail engineering post, with additional SCADA and station-information systems work. It manages medium-sized projects or engineering packages within larger schemes, covering design, interfaces and technical assurance. The permanent, full-time role is office/site based and safety critical, requiring successful completion of a pre-employment medical assessment.
What You'll Work On
- Plan and lead project engineering through full-lifecycle design and change control, managing a medium-sized project or an engineering package within a larger scheme.
- Lead requirements analysis and development of concepts and designs through deployment and integration within the operational communications and networks portfolio.
- Coordinate design interfaces, human factors, RAM, EMC and engineering-safety activities, identifying value-engineering opportunities and managing project technical assurance.
- Coordinate subcontractor engineering and collaborate with delivery partners on technical solutions and services that meet the project’s quality, safety and timescale requirements.
Why This Role Matters
- Rail communications projects can address interface and integration risks through coordinated design, requirements and assurance activity across the disciplines contributing to the system.
- Delivery teams gain a defined engineering lead for technical quality and safety, connecting subcontractor outputs with the project’s agreed requirements and deployment timetable.
What They Are Looking For
- Experience: Relevant experience includes multidisciplinary engineering delivery, management of small or medium design teams and full-lifecycle requirements management.
- Technical: Relevant tools include Microsoft Office, Visio, CAD and Microsoft Project or similar relevant IT packages.
- Eligibility: The safety-critical role requires a successfully completed pre-employment medical assessment before starting.
