Brief Description:
As a Signalling Project Engineer, you will be an integral part of a multidisciplinary engineering team responsible for delivering projects, primarily within the CRSA portfolio. Your role will encompass the assurance of design and/or construction activities for assigned projects, ensuring strict adherence to the guidelines outlined in relevant legislation, Group and company standards, as well as Network Rail procedures.
In addition, you will play a vital role in collaborating closely with CREs (Contractors Responsible Engineers), CEMs (Contractors Engineering Managers), Project Managers, and various internal and external stakeholders. While the primary location for your signalling activities will be the Doncaster office, this position will require flexibility, including working from other offices as necessary. We will consider applicants based anywhere on the Eastern Region.
It's important to note that this role is specific to signalling, and thus, prior experience in signalling, preferably in maintenance, construction, testing, and/or design, is essential. You will be expected to work across multiple projects in the portfolio, so a solid understanding of relevant standards, particularly NR/L2/INI/02009, is crucial.
