We are recruiting Engineers to support a large-scale rail engineering transformation programme within a major safety-critical transport environment.

This contract role is ideal for an Engineer with experience in rail engineering standards, systems engineering, asset management or technical assurance, looking to work on long-term programmes modernising how railway assets are operated and maintained.

The role

As an Engineer, you will support the review, update and implementation of engineering standards and processes that underpin maintenance, operations and asset lifecycle management across a complex railway system.

You will work closely with engineering, operations and maintenance teams to ensure standards are practical, compliant and aligned with business and operational objectives.

Key responsibilities

Review, update and rationalise rail engineering standards, including standards mapping and hierarchy.

*

Support standards reviews and briefings, including BS, EN and ISO standards.

*

Trace standards and requirements through requirements management tools.

*

Identify and resolve conflicting engineering standards, producing assurance arguments where required.

*

Support the introduction of new technology into a safety-critical rail environment, particularly where standards are evolving or under development.

*

Apply knowledge of data management and information security standards.

*

Support standards auditing, compliance and assurance activity.

*

Work collaboratively across engineering, operations and asset management teams.

*

Act as a technical point of contact across multiple engineering initiatives and workstreams.

Skills and experience

*

Engineering background (rail, systems, asset, assurance or integration focused).

*

Experience working with engineering standards in a safety-critical industry (rail, transport, aerospace, defence or similar).

*

Understanding of railway asset management and the operate and maintain phase of the asset lifecycle.

*

Knowledge of how systems and assets integrate to form a complete railway system.

*

Strong stakeholder engagement, communication and collaboration skills.

*

Comfortable working in complex, regulated engineering environments.

Working pattern

*

Hybrid working arrangement.

*

Central London office attendance two days per week (Tuesdays and Thursdays).

*

During the first 12–16 weeks, higher office attendance is expected (up to 4–5 days per week).

*

Occasional site visits across the rail network may be required.

Why apply

*

Long-term 52-week rail engineering contract

*

Competitive £400 per day rate

*

High-profile transformation programme

*

Opportunity to work on engineering standards, systems integration and asset lifecycle improvement

*

Hybrid working once embedded
