Project Engineering Director - Rail & Transit
We are seeking an experienced Project Engineering Director to provide technical leadership across major rail and transit projects. This is a senior role with responsibility for directing multidisciplinary engineering teams, setting project strategies and ensuring that solutions are safe, compliant, deliverable and aligned with client requirements. You will work across the full project lifecycle, from early development and design through procurement, construction, testing, commissioning and handover.
Key responsibilities will include leading engineering governance, coordinating design disciplines and managing interfaces between systems, infrastructure, rolling stock, operations and other project stakeholders. You will establish technical assurance processes, review and approve engineering deliverables, oversee design risk management and ensure compliance with relevant legislation, standards and industry best practice. The role will also involve supporting project controls, programme planning, cost management, change control and the resolution of complex technical issues. You will contribute to bids and business development activities, build effective relationships with clients and supply chain partners, and represent the engineering function at senior project and stakeholder meetings.
Applicants should have substantial experience in a senior engineering leadership position within the rail, transit, transport or wider infrastructure sector, together with a strong understanding of complex, multidisciplinary project delivery. A degree or equivalent qualification in engineering is required, and professional registration or chartered status is highly desirable. You will need proven experience of leading large technical teams, managing design assurance and interfaces, and delivering projects in regulated environments. Strong commercial awareness, sound judgement and excellent communication skills are essential, as is the ability to influence stakeholders and make clear, timely decisions. Experience of safety-critical systems, systems engineering, construction delivery, testing and commissioning would be advantageous. This opportunity will suit a collaborative and decisive leader who can balance strategic thinking with hands-on technical oversight and a clear focus on quality, safety and successful project outcomes.
