使命
Our Rail Division is rapidly expanding in the UK, delivering cutting-edge engineering, rolling stock modifications, and testing solutions for major operators and manufacturers.
We don't just manage projects; we shape the future of rail. If you thrive on technical complexity, fast-paced delivery, and leading high-performing engineering teams, you’ll fit right in.
Role Overview
As a Senior Programme Manager, you will hold the reins for our flagship rolling stock vehicle modification and Testing & Commissioning (T&C) portfolios. You will bridge the gap between complex engineering designs and real-world track deployment, ensuring projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to the highest regulatory safety standards.
This is a high-visibility leadership role requiring a blend of deep rolling stock technical understanding and exceptional stakeholder management skills.
Key Responsibilities
End-to-End Delivery: Lead the execution of complex rolling stock modification programmes from initial concept and fleet survey through to line-side installation, testing, commissioning, and final approvals.
Commercial & Financial Control: Manage multi-million-pound project budgets, tracking KPIs, variations, earned value management (\bm{EVM}), and risk registers to safeguard profitability.
Stakeholder Champion: Serve as the primary interface for Tier 1 manufacturers, train operating companies (TOCs), rolling stock leasing companies (ROSCOs), and regulatory bodies (e.g., ORR, Network Rail).
Team Leadership: Direct and mentor a multidisciplinary team of project managers, design engineers, and field technicians, fostering a rigorous culture of safety and engineering excellence.
T&C Strategy: Oversee the development and execution of robust testing and commissioning strategies, ensuring smooth integration with track infrastructure and minimal disruption to active fleets.
简介
What We Are Looking For
Rail Sector Expertise: Proven track record managing large-scale rolling stock modification, refurbishment, or introduction programmes within the UK rail network.
T&C Knowledge: Strong practical understanding of testing and commissioning phases, standard rail approvals (e.g., RISAS, Rail Industry Standards), and safety management system compliance.
Leadership Gravitas: Proven experience in a senior project or programme management role, with a natural ability to negotiate, influence, and align conflicting stakeholder priorities.
Qualifications: Degree in Engineering (Mechanical/Electrical) or equivalent experience, backed by a recognized project management certification (e.g., APM PMQ, Prince2 Practitioner, or MSP).
Problem Solvers: Someone who looks at complex fleet integration hurdles and sees a puzzle to be solved, not a roadblock.
