Rolling Stock Lifecycle Management Engineer
We are seeking a Rolling Stock Lifecycle Management Engineer to support the safe, reliable and cost-effective operation of rail vehicles throughout their service life. The role will involve developing and maintaining lifecycle management strategies for rolling stock, covering asset performance, reliability, availability, maintainability, obsolescence and whole-life cost. You will work closely with engineering, maintenance, operations, procurement and supply chain teams to ensure that technical decisions support long-term fleet performance and business objectives.
Key responsibilities will include analysing fleet data, failure trends, maintenance records and operational performance to identify improvement opportunities and emerging risks. You will define and monitor asset management plans, maintenance regimes, modification programmes and renewal strategies, ensuring alignment with relevant standards, safety requirements and contractual obligations. The successful candidate will contribute to reliability-centred maintenance activities, configuration and change control, defect investigations, root-cause analysis and the assessment of engineering proposals. You will also support fleet introductions, upgrades, refurbishments and end-of-life planning, providing clear technical recommendations based on risk, cost and performance evidence.
Applicants should have a degree or equivalent qualification in mechanical, electrical, systems, railway or another relevant engineering discipline, together with experience in rolling stock engineering, asset management, maintenance engineering or a comparable transport environment. Knowledge of railway safety, vehicle systems, RAMS principles, lifecycle costing and applicable industry standards is highly desirable. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills are essential, along with the ability to interpret technical data and communicate recommendations clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Experience using asset management, maintenance planning or data analysis tools would be advantageous. The role requires a collaborative, organised and proactive approach, with the confidence to manage competing priorities and influence decisions across multiple functions.
