About this role

Take on a new challenge and apply your engineering expertise in a cutting-edge field. You’ll work alongside collaborative and detail-oriented teammates.

Day-to-day, you’ll work closely with teams across the business (such as signalling interlocking, V&V, installation, and testing & commissioning teams), support the preparation of installation documents, Bill of Materials (BOM), and much more.

You’ll specifically take care of designing installation engineering drawings, including cable plans and wiring diagrams, method statements, and general installation drawings, but also contribute to analysing requirements and managing design change requests.

Support the field team (e.g., Installation Supervisors, Site Managers, Installation Team Leaders) to understand and review deliverables, and prepare design modifications or change requests based on site inputs

Review civil interface drawings (e.g., station building drawings, track layout drawings) and provide signalling equipment requirements for space allocation and applicable cable trunking

Prepare installation material specifications and Bill of Quantities (BoQ)

Support project teams during the preparation of field quality dossiers for handover

Prepare as-built documentation and ensure conformity with as-installed configurations

Perform site surveys during preparation and execution phases as necessary

Contribute to best practices definition and lessons learned within the product line

Participate in process and methodology improvement workgroups, proposing updates and enhancements to IE workflows, processes, tools, and reference libraries
