* Become familiar with the development of technical scopes, design preparation and installation/commissioning support for small scale local infrastructure performance renewals on London Underground stations & associated infrastructure
* Support the development of technical scopes for the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) infrastructure
* Support in the supervision of external design and installation
* Commissioning support for medium scale performance improvements on the DLR system
* Preparing designs and installing or commissioning support for medium scale infrastructure performance enhancements
* Gain experience improving e.g. new station ticket halls, upgraded retail provisions in stations, substation ventilation and mid tunnel ventilation fans
* Understand the technical scopes development and preparation of designs for a varying range of commercial development projects, in particular provision of retail units across the TfL estate
* Design preparation and installation of TfL’s street and road lighting infrastructure, focusing on performance improvements
