We are seeking a Rolling Stock Engineer to support the safe, reliable and efficient performance of passenger or freight rail vehicles throughout their operational lifecycle. Working within a multidisciplinary engineering environment, you will contribute to the design, maintenance, modification and continuous improvement of rolling stock systems. The role will involve interpreting technical requirements, reviewing engineering documentation and ensuring that all work complies with relevant railway standards, safety legislation and contractual obligations.
Your responsibilities will include investigating technical faults and recurring failures, analysing performance and reliability data, and developing practical engineering solutions. You will prepare and review specifications, maintenance instructions, technical reports, risk assessments and configuration records. You may also support fleet introduction, refurbishment and modification programmes by coordinating with suppliers, maintainers, operators and testing teams. Participation in design reviews, acceptance activities, inspections and technical investigations will be expected, along with providing clear recommendations to stakeholders and supporting the implementation of corrective and preventative actions.
Applicants should hold a degree or equivalent qualification in mechanical, electrical, rail or systems engineering, together with relevant experience in rolling stock, rail vehicles or a closely related engineering discipline. Knowledge of railway vehicle systems such as traction, braking, doors, HVAC, bogies, vehicle structures, control systems or onboard communications would be advantageous. You should be comfortable working with engineering standards, safety assurance processes, technical data and structured problem-solving methods. Strong written and verbal communication skills are essential, as is the ability to manage priorities, work collaboratively and make sound technical decisions. Experience with reliability-centred maintenance, RAMS, FMEA, configuration management or engineering change control would be beneficial. A proactive approach, attention to detail and commitment to operational safety are essential for success in this role.
