The Route Engineer (Signalling) must be able to empower engineers across the N&E route to deliver the best outcomes using all available data and decision support tools.

Recognising and working effectively with industry stakeholders is fundamental to delivering the right work in the right place at the right time.

In the N&E, asset management and maintenance work hand in hand, we use a systems thinking approach to create our core workbanks, being a team player and considering a common currency of risk across functions is essential if you are to work as part of our team

11. Review, and approve as appropriate, derogations and non-compliances to standards in compliance with the delegated authority framework. Manage the response to applications outside of own delegated authority.

12. Collate any issues of regional / national significance and liaise with the region team to develop and spread consistent best practice. Support the development and review of national standards relating to renewals and enhancements. Collate, review and manage progression of potential improvements to standards from specified delivery units; provide feedback through the region engineering team.
