We are seeking an experienced Rolling Stock Lead Engineer to provide technical leadership across the design, development, modification, testing and introduction of railway vehicles and associated systems. This is a key role for an engineer who can balance technical excellence, safety, reliability, cost and programme requirements while working across multidisciplinary project teams. You will lead engineering activities from concept through to delivery, ensuring that rolling stock solutions comply with applicable standards, specifications, legislation and customer requirements.
Your responsibilities will include defining and managing technical requirements, reviewing designs, coordinating engineering work packages and providing authoritative technical advice to project managers, suppliers, operators and other stakeholders. You will oversee verification and validation activities, engineering change control, risk assessments, configuration management and the preparation of technical documentation. You will also support manufacturing, commissioning, testing and in-service investigations, identifying root causes and implementing effective corrective actions. Where required, you will contribute to bids, feasibility studies, safety cases, acceptance activities and continuous improvement initiatives.
Applicants should hold a degree or equivalent qualification in mechanical, electrical, systems, railway or another relevant engineering discipline, together with substantial experience in rolling stock engineering or a closely related rail environment. A strong understanding of vehicle systems, including traction, braking, doors, control systems, body structures, HVAC or passenger information systems, is desirable. You should be familiar with relevant railway standards, assurance processes and safety-critical engineering practices, and be able to interpret complex technical information and make sound, evidence-based decisions. Strong communication, stakeholder management and leadership skills are essential, along with the ability to influence effectively in a matrix environment. Professional registration or progress towards it would be advantageous.
