West Midlands Metro is your gateway to an exciting career in the heart of England's thriving West Midlands region.

We are the driving force behind modern, sustainable urban transportation, connecting cities, towns, and most importantly – people

With a strong presence in the heart of England, we play a crucial role in connecting communities, enhancing mobility, and contributing to the economic development of the region.

Our sleek trams provide fast, convenient, and eco-friendly transportation solutions, reducing road congestion, lowering carbon emissions, and fostering a greener future for the West Midlands.

We're now recruiting for a Rail Systems Integration Lead to drive the next phase of our expansion into Dudley – and this is your chance to own a vital part of that journey

You won't be managing people; you'll be taking charge of your discipline – Electrical Substations, Signalling and Telecommunications and guiding it through to successful delivery.

You will be responsible for supporting the safe, compliant and efficient transition of new infrastructure into Business As Usual operations.

Along with this, as one of our Rail Systems Integration Lead, you will be responsible for:

• Shadowing the existing MML Team Leader in your respective discipline for the initial 3-month induction phase to gain network-specific knowledge and expectations.
• Acting as the lead discipline representative for all new assets introduced as part of the network extension.
• Carrying out static infrastructure checks and testing to confirm asset suitability and readiness for operational use and driver training.
• Verifying that asset installation is complete and in accordance with the as-built drawings and technical specifications.
• Coordinating and support the familiarisation and training of operational and maintenance staff in relation to new equipment and environments.
• Creating or update maintenance schedules, procedures, and instructions aligned with manufacturer guidance and operational needs.
• Contributing to the collation, review, and handover of Health & Safety File data in collaboration with admin and Agility support teams.
• Supporting the development or amendment of policies and procedures required to manage new risks or configurations.
• Engaging in joint walkthroughs, snagging inspections, and review activities to sign off assets as ready for service.
• Supporting the Infrastructure Manager, Asset Handover Coordinator, and Technical Officer in achieving a coordinated and timely transition of new infrastructure into MML ownership.
• Ensuring all new assets are correctly registered and configured in the Agility asset management system with appropriate hierarchy, tasking, and scheduling.

To Be Successful In This Role, You Must Possess

• Demonstrable experience in Electrical Substations.
• A strong understanding of maintenance principles, asset inspection, and safety regulations within a light rail or rail infrastructure context.
• Practical experience of interpreting technical drawings and documentation.
• Experience in coordinating operational readiness activities, including static testing and staff familiarisation.
• Authorised Person (AP) qualification.
• NEBOSH or IOSH qualifications.
• APM PMQ or Prince 2 qualifications.
• Familiarity with asset management systems (e.g., Agility or equivalent CMMS).
• Understanding of Health and Safety File requirements under CDM regulations.

It Would Be Desirable If You Also Possess

• Experience working on new infrastructure handovers, extensions, or commissioning.
• Knowledge of West Midlands Metro infrastructure and operational practices.
