Rail Systems Discipline Lead
We are seeking an experienced Rail Systems Discipline Lead to provide technical leadership across the development, integration and delivery of complex rail infrastructure projects. This is a senior role for a collaborative professional who can set clear technical direction, manage interfaces between disciplines and ensure that systems engineering activities are delivered safely, efficiently and to the required standards.
You will lead the definition and implementation of rail systems strategies, coordinating requirements across signalling, telecommunications, power, rolling stock, control systems, infrastructure and other relevant disciplines. Your responsibilities will include reviewing technical solutions, managing systems integration and assurance activities, overseeing design development, and ensuring that technical risks, assumptions and interfaces are identified and controlled. You will work closely with project managers, engineering teams, suppliers, contractors and stakeholders, providing authoritative advice throughout the project lifecycle. You will also support technical reviews, design approvals, testing and commissioning, and contribute to the preparation of scope, specifications, programmes and cost estimates.
The successful candidate will have significant experience in rail systems engineering, systems integration or a related technical leadership position, ideally gained across major rail or transport projects. You will have a strong understanding of relevant standards, assurance processes, safety requirements and industry best practice, together with the ability to interpret complex technical information and make sound, evidence-based decisions. Excellent communication, influencing and stakeholder-management skills are essential, as is the ability to lead multidisciplinary teams and maintain a clear focus on quality, safety and delivery. A relevant engineering qualification is required, and professional registration or equivalent industry recognition would be advantageous. This role offers the opportunity to shape innovative rail solutions and make a meaningful contribution to the successful delivery of critical transport infrastructure.
