We are seeking an experienced Rail and Transit Systems Engineering Manager to lead the technical delivery of complex rail, metro, and public transport programmes. This role will provide engineering leadership across the full systems lifecycle, from concept development and requirements definition through design, integration, testing, commissioning, and operational handover. You will coordinate multidisciplinary teams and ensure that engineering solutions are safe, reliable, compliant, maintainable, and aligned with programme objectives.
Key responsibilities will include developing and managing systems engineering strategies, technical baselines, interface requirements, verification and validation plans, and assurance activities. You will oversee the integration of rail and transit subsystems such as signalling, communications, rolling stock, traction power, power distribution, platform systems, control systems, passenger information, and station infrastructure. The role will involve managing technical risks, resolving complex interfaces, reviewing designs, supporting procurement and supplier management, and ensuring that engineering changes are properly assessed, documented, and controlled. You will also contribute to technical governance, safety cases, engineering reviews, audits, and regulatory submissions.
Applicants should hold a degree or equivalent qualification in systems engineering, rail engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, or a related discipline, together with substantial experience delivering major rail or transit projects. Professional registration or membership of a relevant engineering institution is desirable. You will bring strong knowledge of systems assurance, configuration management, requirements management, and industry standards, as well as experience leading consultants, contractors, and internal technical teams. Excellent communication, stakeholder management, commercial awareness, and problem-solving skills are essential. The successful candidate will be confident working in a complex, multidisciplinary environment and able to translate strategic objectives into practical, deliverable engineering outcomes.
