Wayside Track Products Technical Manager
We are seeking an experienced Wayside Track Products Technical Manager to lead the technical development, assurance and lifecycle management of products used within railway trackside environments. This role will provide expert guidance across product design, engineering, installation, testing, maintenance and continuous improvement, ensuring solutions meet relevant safety, performance, quality and regulatory requirements. The successful candidate will work closely with engineering, project delivery, procurement, commercial and operational teams to support the reliable delivery of technically compliant products and services.
Key responsibilities will include managing technical specifications, product approvals, configuration control and change management; reviewing designs, drawings, calculations, risk assessments and technical documentation; and providing authoritative advice on product selection, compatibility, application and performance. You will investigate technical issues, lead root-cause analysis and corrective actions, and support the resolution of defects, failures and non-conformances. The role will also involve maintaining product data, standards and assurance records, contributing to development roadmaps, and identifying opportunities to improve reliability, maintainability, cost effectiveness and safety. You may be required to support site visits, trials, audits, testing activities and technical reviews, including collaboration with suppliers and external stakeholders.
Applicants should have substantial experience in railway engineering, track systems, wayside infrastructure or a closely related technical discipline, with a strong understanding of applicable rail standards, engineering assurance processes and safety requirements. A relevant engineering qualification or equivalent professional experience is essential, while professional registration or membership of an appropriate engineering institution would be advantageous. You will need excellent analytical, communication and stakeholder-management skills, together with the ability to interpret complex technical information and present clear recommendations. Experience managing technical risks, suppliers and multidisciplinary projects, as well as familiarity with quality management, RAMS and structured change control, will be highly valued. The position requires a proactive, methodical approach and a commitment to maintaining high standards across the full product lifecycle.
