We are seeking a Systems Engineering Manager to lead the delivery of complex rail and transit projects from concept through to commissioning and operational handover. This role will provide technical leadership across multidisciplinary engineering teams, ensuring that systems are safe, reliable, maintainable, compliant and aligned with customer and operational requirements. You will establish and manage systems engineering processes, develop technical strategies, and ensure that systems thinking is applied consistently throughout the project lifecycle.
Key responsibilities will include managing requirements capture, traceability and verification; overseeing systems architecture, interface management, integration and testing; and coordinating engineering assurance activities across rolling stock, signalling, communications, control systems, power, infrastructure and depot environments. You will lead technical reviews, manage risks and technical change, resolve complex engineering issues, and ensure that designs and deliverables meet relevant standards, legislation and contractual obligations. The role will also involve working closely with project managers, clients, suppliers, operators and assurance stakeholders, while supporting the development of engineering plans, estimates, schedules and resource requirements. You will coach and develop engineers, promote collaboration and continuous improvement, and contribute to bids, proposals and strategic business initiatives.
Applicants should have substantial experience in systems engineering within rail, transit, transportation or another safety-critical industry, together with a degree or equivalent qualification in systems engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering or a related discipline. A strong understanding of systems lifecycle standards, requirements management, verification and validation, configuration management and safety assurance is essential. Experience working within regulated environments and managing multidisciplinary teams is highly desirable. You will need excellent communication, stakeholder management and problem-solving skills, along with the ability to translate complex technical matters into clear decisions and practical outcomes. Professional registration or membership of a relevant engineering institution would be advantageous.
