This position plays a critical role in ensuring system compatibility, operational readiness, and seamless integration between all disciplines, contractors, and stakeholders.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Develop, implement, and maintain the overall Interface and Integration Management Strategy for the rail programme.

• Lead coordination across signaling, telecoms, traction power, control systems, rolling stock, civil, trackwork, and stations to ensure consistent and compatible interface definition and system integration.

• Establish and manage the interface management framework, including interface registers, interface control documents (ICDs), and issue resolution processes.

• Coordinate and resolve technical and operational interface issues between designers, contractors, system suppliers, and third parties.

• Review and endorse system integration plans, ICDs, systems assurance documentation, and interface-related test procedures.

• Ensure compliance with applicable rail standards, safety requirements, operational criteria, and performance specifications.

• Coordinate system-wide interface activities related to testing & commissioning, dynamic testing, and end-to-end integration validation.

• Monitor progress of interface and integration deliverables against programme milestones and report risks or constraints to the wider leadership team.

• Facilitate interface and integration workshops, technical coordination meetings, hazard analyses, and configuration management reviews.

• Identify, assess, and mitigate interface and integration risks across engineering, construction, testing, and operational readiness activities.

• Prepare interface and integration dashboards, reports, and briefings for senior management and key stakeholders.

What Required Skills You'll Bring:

• Bachelor s Degree in Engineering (Electrical, Electronic, Systems, Rail, Mechanical, or related discipline).

• Minimum 10 years experience in rail systems engineering, integration, and interface management roles. Experience coordinating multiple rail systems, including signaling, telecoms, traction power, control systems, and rolling stock.

• Proven experience performing an Interface & Integration Manager role (or equivalent) on at least one major rail or transit project of similar size and complexity.

• Demonstrated track record in interface control, systems assurance, testing & commissioning coordination, and operational readiness.

• Strong expertise in rail interface management and systems integration within complex, multidisciplinary environments.

• In-depth understanding of ICD development, interface registers, configuration management, and systems assurance principles.

• Excellent leadership, coordination, and communication skills, with the ability to align diverse teams and stakeholders.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving capability, particularly in resolving complex interface and integration issues.

• High-quality reporting, documentation, and presentation skills.

• Ability to operate effectively in fast-paced, technically complex project environments.
