Principal Signal/Train Control Engineering Manager
We are seeking a Principal Signal/Train Control Engineering Manager to provide technical leadership across complex rail signalling and train control programmes. This senior role will guide the development, assurance, integration and delivery of safe, reliable and compliant systems, working across multidisciplinary engineering teams, project managers, operators, maintainers, suppliers and regulatory stakeholders. You will establish clear engineering direction, promote best practice and ensure that technical decisions support operational performance, whole-life value and passenger safety.
Responsibilities will include leading the systems engineering lifecycle from concept and requirements definition through design, verification, validation, testing, commissioning and handover. You will oversee signalling and train control architectures, interfaces, system integration, configuration management, safety assurance and engineering change. The role will involve reviewing technical solutions, approving engineering deliverables, managing technical risks and dependencies, and ensuring compliance with relevant standards, legislation, contractual obligations and safety processes. You will also contribute to programme strategy, resource planning, supplier management, design reviews, incident investigations and continuous improvement initiatives.
Applicants should have substantial experience in railway signalling, train control or a closely related safety-critical engineering environment, together with a strong understanding of systems engineering, requirements management, hazard analysis, verification and validation. Experience of major infrastructure, renewal or technology deployment programmes, including multidisciplinary integration and supplier oversight, is highly desirable. Professional registration or an equivalent recognised engineering qualification would be advantageous. You will need excellent communication, leadership and stakeholder-management skills, with the ability to explain complex technical matters clearly and make sound, evidence-based decisions. A collaborative approach, strong commercial awareness and a commitment to engineering excellence are essential. The successful candidate will be comfortable operating at both strategic and detailed levels, influencing senior stakeholders while supporting and developing engineering professionals.
