Transport for London (TfL) Engineers are always looking forward. Join us in one of our Central Engineering, Transport System Engineering or Infrastructure Engineering teams and, as well as maintaining legacy assets, you’ll deliver new systems and solutions. There’s more to it than tubes, roads, buildings and bridges. This is about connecting communities and creating opportunities, so we’re ready for the 21st century and beyond.
Day-to-day, your focus will be on delivering designs, drawings, information, calculations and enhancements that keep vital, innovative and big-budget projects moving. You’ll make sure assets are safe, working and compliant; develop your own solutions; and be a trusted source of engineering advice for everyone, including our Heads of Engineering Delivery.
As part of the Fire Engineering team, you would either responsible for delivering Fire Engineering services throughout the TfL Estate, defining scope, controlling business risk and compliance with associated standards where in-depth working knowledge is required of Building Regulations Part B, BS 9999, BS 9992 and BS 7974.
You would be embedded within projects, and you would be responsible for scoping, site monitoring and delivery of fire safety systems throughout the network. This would involve site inspections, preparation of technical reports, assurance and handover of active and passive fire safety systems during the process. You will have to engage with relevant stakeholders within TfL, LFB and external contractors.
