Key Notes
Field or installation engineering experience can transfer into customer project delivery across Vix transport and ticketing deployments in this Manchester role. The remit covers site readiness, equipment logistics, installation coordination, commissioning support and technical handover. Customer-site travel and a full driving licence are required, while public transport, fare collection, networking or formal project-delivery experience would strengthen an application.
What You'll Work On
- Plan customer transport and ticketing deployments with Project Managers, documenting technical activities, risks, dependencies and commissioning requirements.
- Conduct site surveys covering infrastructure, power, communications and environmental conditions, then produce photographs, measurements and readiness recommendations.
- Coordinate customers, subcontractors and internal teams during installation, ensuring configured equipment, tools and resources reach sites before scheduled work.
- Produce installation records, technical reports and handover packs, updating risk logs and action trackers through customer acceptance and closure.
Why This Role Matters
- Vix customer deployments rely on verified site conditions and correctly configured equipment; missed power, communications or logistics requirements can delay installation and customer acceptance.
- Vix’s customer acceptance and project closure rely on technical reports and handover packs, giving customers a documented account of installation, quality and unresolved issues.
What They Are Looking For
- Experience: Field engineering, installation, service engineering or technical-support experience is essential.
- Technical: Strong understanding of hardware installations/technical deployments and experience conducting site surveys or assessments are essential.
- Eligibility: A full driving licence is essential.
- Preferred: Technology deployment, networking/communications, public transport, ticketing, fare-collection or infrastructure-project experience is desirable.
- Preferred: Electrical/mechanical engineering experience or qualifications, project methods, PRINCE2 Foundation, APM or equivalent are desirable.
- Preferred: Experience with subcontractors and installation partners is desirable.
