Senior Project Engineer

Siemens Mobility are recruiting for a Senior Project Engineer for our Rail Infrastructure CIS Telecoms Team based out of our offices in Ashby de la Zouch, Chippenham, or London. Reporting to the Lead Project Engineering Manager, the Senior Project Engineer will be responsible for the regional office and/or portfolio of Project Engineering delivery. The Senior Project Engineer will lead other Project Engineering personnel within our Telecoms Engineering Department to successfully deliver all engineering aspects of Operational Telecommunications projects.

The first assignment will be the role of System Integration and Interface Manager on the HS2 Operational Telecommunications and Security Systems package. HS2 has a complex stakeholder landscape and one of the key requirements of the role will be to develop a broad understanding of the project scope and the solution and to act as an interface between the Siemens engineering teams and the wide range of parties that Siemens need to work closely with to successfully deliver the project. This includes the engineering teams within the customer organisation, from other supply partners, and with other external parties. The project is complex in nature, both in a technical and organizational context and the successful candidate will be required to demonstrate experience in a comparable environment.
