Railway Protection Expert

Reference: xysxjn02hrr1cwh757fy

We are seeking a Railway Protection Expert to provide specialist technical leadership across railway signalling, train protection, and control systems. The role will support the development, review, and assurance of safe, reliable, and compliant railway protection solutions throughout the project lifecycle. You will assess operational and technical requirements, contribute to system architecture, and ensure that protection strategies are appropriate for the infrastructure, rolling stock, operating environment, and applicable safety standards.

Key responsibilities include producing and reviewing technical specifications, system requirements, engineering justifications, hazard analyses, safety cases, and verification and validation plans. You will evaluate train protection and signalling interfaces, identify risks and constraints, and recommend practical improvements to system performance and operational safety. The role will also involve reviewing designs and supplier submissions, supporting testing and commissioning activities, investigating technical issues, and providing expert advice during implementation and project assurance reviews. You may also contribute to incident investigations, change control, RAMS activities, and the development of technical procedures and operational guidance.

Applicants should have substantial experience in railway signalling, automatic train protection, train control, or a closely related rail systems discipline. A strong understanding of railway safety principles, systems engineering, hazard management, and relevant national or international standards is essential. Experience with technologies such as interlocking, ETCS, CBTC, ATP, AWS, TPWS, or comparable protection systems would be advantageous. You should be able to interpret complex technical information, communicate clearly with engineering and operational stakeholders, and produce accurate, well-structured documentation. The successful candidate will be analytical, collaborative, and confident in providing independent technical judgement, with the ability to manage priorities and deliver high-quality work in a safety-critical environment.
