We are seeking an experienced Rolling Stock Lead to provide technical leadership across the delivery, maintenance, modification and performance improvement of rail vehicles. This role will oversee rolling stock activities throughout the asset lifecycle, ensuring that vehicles remain safe, reliable, compliant and fit for operational use. You will work closely with engineering, operations, maintenance, procurement and external suppliers to develop effective solutions and deliver agreed performance, cost and availability targets.
Key responsibilities will include leading the development and implementation of rolling stock strategies, asset management plans and maintenance requirements; reviewing technical specifications, designs, modifications and acceptance documentation; and providing expert advice on vehicle systems, reliability, maintainability and safety. You will manage technical risks, investigate defects and recurring failures, and coordinate root-cause analysis and corrective actions. The role will also involve monitoring fleet performance, reviewing maintenance data, supporting contract and supplier management, and ensuring that all work complies with relevant legislation, standards, safety processes and assurance requirements. You may also be required to lead engineering reviews, contribute to fleet introduction or refurbishment projects, and support continuous improvement initiatives.

A recognised engineering qualification or equivalent professional experience is required, and professional registration would be advantageous. You will need excellent analytical, communication and stakeholder-management skills, with the ability to influence decisions and explain complex technical matters clearly. Experience of leading multidisciplinary teams, managing suppliers and delivering projects in a regulated rail environment is highly desirable. A proactive approach, sound commercial awareness and a commitment to safety, quality and operational excellence are essential.
