Senior Signalling Engineer

3 weeks ago

London, United Kingdom Charlton Recruitment Full time

Are you interested in developing, delivering & creating a legacy for the very first Signalling System in the World on a Highspeed Railway to install Automatic Train Operation (ATO) over European Train Control System (ETCS) technology?

Looking for someone with strong signalling principles knowledge and experience in major resignalling schemes. While ATO or ETCS experience is not mandatory, a solid understanding of the whole CCS system – including Interlocking, Control System, and Track Side (Train detection) – is essential. Candidates could have worked as a Signalling Solution Architect and should understand how the whole CCS system is designed.

A Senior Command Control & Signalling Engineer is required to work for the Client Organisation (HS2), responsible for the New High-Speed Rail project in the UK. This multi-billion-pound high-speed railway will directly link the city centres of London, Birmingham, Leeds, and Manchester. The role sits within the Chief Engineering Group (Central Engineering) and is part of a specialist, highly regarded Command Control & Signalling team, which serves as the Technical Authority for CCS.

The Senior Command, Control & Signalling Engineer (CCS Engineer) will deliver significant CCS engineering activities in accordance with the CCS strategy across the HS2 project and develop the technical standards and specifications for system design and construction. The job holder will engage with programme stakeholders and, under the leadership of the Lead CCS Engineer, provide strategic direction for business-critical workstreams.

Reporting to the Lead CCS Engineer, you will work in a specialist CCS technical authority team of 4, who have largely finished specifying & defining requirements of the CCS system. Currently, the Command Control and Signalling Contract is out to tender with the technical evaluation stage completed. Once the tender is awarded, the role will ensure that the design, construction, and testing & commissioning phases meet project requirements and resolve issues where appropriate.

Working Situation: Hybrid. The role is based from the Euston, London, or Birmingham office, coupled with hybrid working – the expectation is to work 2 days a week from the office and the rest of the time at home. This is a very flexible modern employer who cares about delivery, not where you deliver from. However, if you prefer to be based from the office more, you can.

Senior CCS Engineer Salary: £600 - £625 a day INSIDE.

Duties & Responsibilities:

  • Engaging and managing stakeholders to ensure a holistic approach for the development of engineering solutions.
  • Providing technical assurance for the CCS engineering discipline.
  • Working closely with wider engineering disciplines to develop CCS solutions that consider all relevant systems and sub-systems.
  • Developing requirements, specifications, and standards which deliver railway capability while mitigating environmental impacts within the programme and budget.
  • Contributing to the management of technical risk for CCS engineering works.
  • Providing technical expertise and advice relating to CCS engineering to the wider project organisation and external stakeholders.
  • Conducting work in accordance with strategies for managing interfaces between CCS and other infrastructure systems, Network Rail, and other 3rd party infrastructure.
  • Actively promoting and embedding Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) in all work, supporting and complying with all organisational initiatives, policies, and procedures on EDI.

Required Criteria:

Overview: Looking for a Senior Command Control and Signalling Engineer with experience & knowledge to serve as a Technical Authority. Candidates from Contractor, Client, or Consultant backgrounds are preferred. Those with purely Project Engineer backgrounds will not suffice; design experience (Signalling CRE equivalent) is necessary, along with an understanding of how the Signalling System interfaces with the rest of the rail systems.

We are interested in candidates who are Senior CCS / Signalling Design Managers, Engineering Managers, or currently technical authorities within client organisations, or Signalling engineers from a Testing Facility background. Candidates are likely to be Chartered or nearing chartership.

Skills:

  • Provides specialist technical support and leadership on all discipline-specific scientific, technical, and engineering principles to project development/delivery teams.
  • Capable of being a Standard Discipline Owner / Subject Matter Expert.
  • Provides technical and commercial management and leadership skills to support project development/delivery teams.
  • Ability to communicate discipline-specific technical ideas to stakeholders and colleagues.
  • Ability to apply principles relating to standards, safety, and the environment.
  • Applies methods that ensure effective information management, modelling, and data security; understands data creation, transformation, and visualisation and knows when to seek guidance from other Subject Matter Experts.

Knowledge:

  • Knowledge of the Common Safety Method (CSM) for risk evaluation and assessment and its relevance to CCS projects.
  • Understanding of Control, Command, and Signalling Systems and their relationship to railway operations, with in-depth knowledge in numerous areas of CCS.
  • Basic understanding of specific technical issues associated with high-speed rail, ETCS, and ATO.
  • Understanding of development, design, and construction of similar CCS Systems.
  • Application of technical standards, both national and international, relevant to Traffic Management & Rail Control Systems.
  • Awareness of technical issues associated with current and future Traffic Management & Rail Control Systems technology.
  • Chartered Engineer (or working towards) / Membership of an appropriate professional institution or equivalent experience.

Type of Experience:

  • Development or delivery of Traffic Management & Rail Control Systems associated with modern railways or similar client organisations.
  • Establishment of requirements and evaluation of proposed solutions.
  • Project planning and organisation to meet significant project deadlines, including cost delivery and schedule targets.
