Vacancy Type: Full-time but flexible working patterns will be considered
Duration: Permanent
Location:London Puddle Dock
To produce designs and specifications supporting the engineering development of allocated proposals, from clarification of remit (start of stage 2) to the completion of single option feasibility work and handover into detailed design (end of stage 4).
About the role (External)
Engineering Services is a function within Route Services. We sit as a central team to provide national skills and activities which enable regions and industry partners to deliver the railway for our customers.
As a large central functional team focusing on engineering delivery, we have many roles, ranging from pure engineering to project management. We design and influence every part of the railway, including structures, track, traction power, level crossings, signalling, and accessibility schemes, which are essential to keep our stations moving.
Being multi-disciplinary offers great opportunities to work in the design and development of new structures, structural repair schemes, level crossing improvements/closures, line speed increases, and access for all schemes. In addition to design work, we support asset management teams by carrying out structural inspections and assessments of existing bridge and canopy structures, some of which date back to the Victorian era. This involves confirming current conditions and producing assessment calculations to safeguard structural capacity and extend operational life.
Main Responsibilities:
1. Analyze development remits to maintain a robust challenge to sponsoring engineers and managers, and participate in value management and risk identification/analysis activities.
2. Develop suitable engineering options for proposals, considering safety, reliability, operational capacity modeling, maintainability, ease of construction, and environmental/whole life issues. Support engineering excellence by:
* Securing all relevant base data.
* Reviewing compliance with standards.
* Using risk identification and evaluation methods to compare options.
* Incorporating feedback and lessons learned from past projects across the UK rail network.
* Maintaining strict change control on scope development, evaluating cost, time, and performance impacts.
1. Participate in selecting a single option for further development and prepare or oversee reports and papers as needed.
2. Manage the detailed design of the selected option.
3. Prepare the full engineering data package for detailed design commencement and assist with clarifications or queries.
4. Support GRIP stages 2 to 4, conducting cross-discipline engineering checks and managing interfaces with other disciplines or programs.
5. Assist in training and mentoring junior engineers and trainees.
