Overhead Catenary System (OCS) Bonding Design Lead
We are seeking an experienced Overhead Catenary System (OCS) Bonding Design Lead to provide technical leadership across the design, development and assurance of bonding and earthing systems for complex rail infrastructure projects. The successful candidate will take responsibility for delivering safe, compliant and constructible solutions that support the reliable operation of electrified railway systems. This role will involve working across multidisciplinary engineering teams, coordinating interfaces with track, signalling, power, structures and civil design, and providing clear technical direction throughout the project lifecycle.
Key responsibilities will include leading the production and review of OCS bonding design documentation, specifications, calculations, drawings, schedules and technical reports. You will assess bonding requirements, identify electrical and safety risks, define appropriate connections and continuity arrangements, and ensure designs address touch and step potential, fault-current paths, stray current and electromagnetic compatibility considerations. You will manage design interfaces, respond to technical queries, support hazard and risk assessments, and contribute to design reviews, constructability assessments, testing and commissioning activities. The role will also include reviewing work produced by internal and external designers, supporting compliance with applicable railway standards and legislation, and maintaining technical quality, consistency and configuration control.
Applicants should have substantial experience in OCS, railway electrification, traction power, earthing or bonding design, ideally gained on major rail or infrastructure programmes. A strong understanding of electrical principles, railway operational environments, design assurance and relevant industry standards is essential. Experience with design software, technical calculations, engineering documentation and interdisciplinary coordination is expected, together with the ability to interpret requirements and translate them into practical engineering solutions. Professional registration or progress towards professional accreditation would be advantageous. You will be a confident communicator and collaborative technical leader, able to influence stakeholders, manage priorities and make sound engineering judgements while maintaining a strong focus on safety, quality and delivery.
