  4. Providing support to contractors in completing CSM and approvals for station works.
  5. Leading in safety assurance for new rail products, including high-speed points systems and other signalling systems.
  6. Working on global projects spanning Australia, the US, Canada, Asia, and the Middle East from the UK, without the necessity of travel.
  7. Demonstrating flexibility by managing multiple activities and proactively balancing workload.
  8. Leading interactive workshops with clients and stakeholders.
Key Competencies and Experience
  1. Experience in delivering safety engineering and assurance services to rail projects, utilising methods and tools aligned with standards such as EN50126, EN50129, IEC 61508, and/or CSM-RA.

  4. Exceptional organisational skills, with the ability to manage multiple activities and proactively prioritise workload.
  5. Support business development efforts by writing proposals and developing client relationships.
  6. Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively in a team environment.
  7. If you have experience in cyber security, we'd be keen to hear from you, though this skill is not pertinent to this role.
Working here

You will be welcomed into our workplace where every voice matters. We support you to find your place and encourage you to use your passion and expertise to make a positive impact through the projects you work on.
