Siemens Mobility is dedicated to pioneering the future of transportation.
Our dynamic team is always exploring new ways to drive innovation and efficiency in rail. We are searching for forward-thinkers who are eager to challenge themselves and make a tangible impact. If you are passionate about creating sustainable and intelligent transport solutions, we want you on our team.
We have an exciting opportunity to join Siemens Mobility as a Lead Project Engineer in CIS within our Rail Infrastructure business. We provide rail SCADA, Communications, Networks and Cyber Security for Mail Line, Mass Transit and Light Rail across the UK&I and Middle East, with key customer areas of Network Rail, HS2, TfL, TfGM, TfW, Irish Rail and Riyadh Metro. As a Lead Project Engineer, you will take ownership of the engineering delivery for defined work packages across one or more projects. You will ensure engineering requirements, standards, safety obligations, and customer expectations are fully met throughout the delivery lifecycle.
You will often act as the Project Engineering Manager (PEM) on medium-scale projects or lead engineering packages on larger programmes, coordinating multi-disciplinary inputs, managing technical risk and ensuring robust integration, testing and assurance. This role is pivotal in the successful delivery of our CIS (Communications & Information Systems) solutions.
You’ll make a difference by:
- Leading the engineering delivery of work packages or serve as PEM on medium projects, ensuring scope, schedule, quality, cost and safety objectives are achieved
- Developing, maintaining, and executing the Project Engineering Management Plan (PEMP), tailoring engineering governance to project complexity
- Driving system engineering lifecycle activities: requirements and integration management, system design and safety, V&V, testing and commissioning readiness
- Ensuring all engineering work complies with relevant standards, processes, technical specifications and safety obligations (CDM/CSM)
- Coordinating technical interfaces across disciplines, suppliers, and subcontractors, ensuring “right first time” integration
- Acting as the engineering representative to the PM, client, suppliers, and internal teams ensuring consistent communication of requirements, changes and engineering status
