We are seeking an experienced System Integration Manager to lead the integration of complex rail systems across major infrastructure and rolling stock projects. This role will be responsible for ensuring that technical interfaces, operational requirements and system dependencies are identified, controlled and successfully delivered throughout the project lifecycle. You will work closely with engineering, project management, safety, testing and commissioning teams to achieve a fully integrated, compliant and operational railway system.

Key responsibilities will include developing and maintaining the system integration strategy, plans, processes and interface management arrangements. You will coordinate the definition, allocation and verification of system requirements, manage technical interfaces between subsystems and stakeholders, and oversee the resolution of integration risks, issues and non-conformances. The role will also involve supporting systems assurance, configuration management, requirements traceability, verification and validation activities, as well as planning and coordinating integration testing, trial operations and commissioning. You will provide clear technical reporting to senior project stakeholders and ensure that integration activities remain aligned with programme, cost, quality, safety and performance objectives.

Applicants should have substantial experience in systems integration within the rail, transport, infrastructure or another highly regulated engineering environment. A strong understanding of railway systems, including areas such as signalling, telecoms, traction power, rolling stock, control systems or station infrastructure, is highly desirable. You will need proven experience managing multidisciplinary teams, contractors and interfaces across complex projects, together with excellent knowledge of systems engineering, requirements management, assurance and safety processes. Strong communication, negotiation, problem-solving and stakeholder management skills are essential. A relevant engineering or technical qualification is expected, and professional registration or membership of an appropriate engineering institution would be advantageous. The ability to manage competing priorities, influence decisions and work effectively across organisational and technical boundaries is critical to success in this position.
