Senior Traction Power Engineer

Reference: fuq3f82obxqmh6h4agyk

We are seeking a Senior Traction Power Engineer to lead the design, development, and technical delivery of traction power systems for complex rail and mass transit projects. The role will involve managing engineering activities across the full project lifecycle, from feasibility and concept design through detailed design, construction support, testing, commissioning, and handover. You will provide technical leadership on power supply, distribution, switching, protection, earthing, return current, and interface requirements, ensuring that solutions are safe, reliable, compliant, and fit for operational use.

Your responsibilities will include preparing and reviewing technical specifications, calculations, design reports, drawings, and engineering documentation; undertaking or overseeing traction power studies and system modelling; and coordinating interfaces with overhead line or third rail systems, signalling, telecommunications, civil works, rolling stock, and wider electrical infrastructure. You will support design reviews, risk assessments, hazard analysis, constructability assessments, and assurance activities, while working closely with clients, contractors, suppliers, and multidisciplinary engineering teams. The position will also involve mentoring less experienced engineers, contributing to bids and technical proposals, monitoring quality and programme performance, and providing specialist advice during site activities, testing, and commissioning.

Applicants should hold a degree or equivalent qualification in electrical engineering, power systems engineering, or a closely related discipline, together with substantial experience in railway traction power or a comparable high-voltage electrical environment. Strong knowledge of relevant railway standards, electrical safety principles, protection systems, earthing and bonding, and engineering assurance processes is required. Experience with traction power simulation, power system analysis software, and industry design tools would be advantageous. You should be able to demonstrate sound technical judgement, excellent communication skills, and the ability to manage priorities in a delivery-focused environment. Professional registration or progress towards it is desirable, along with a practical understanding of safety-critical infrastructure and regulated project environments.
