Track Plant Engineer – Engineering Vehicles
Job Title: Track Plant Engineer – Engineering Vehicles
Salary: Circa £55k
Location: Ruislip Depot / Lillie Bridge Depot / Various TfL Locations
Contract: TfL - Permanent
Transport for London (TfL) Engineers are always looking forward. Join us in our Operating Assets 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.
This is an opportunity to be part of a dynamic and expanding team of professional engineers that has process, standards, and collaboration at its heart.
The TfL Plant Engineering team encompasses a wide range of Plant activities across the TfL network. This includes London Underground, Rail for London Infrastructure (Elizabeth Line), and London Trams.
As an Engineering Vehicles Track Plant Engineer, you will collaborate daily with our Engineering Vehicles division and associated project teams. Your role will involve delivering work packages and technical solutions for our own OTM fleet, ensuring they remain safe, compliant, and perform optimally. Using your expertise, you will develop innovative solutions, provide assurance, and offer guidance to key stakeholders. Additionally, you will communicate effectively with Senior Plant Engineers, Engineering Managers, Project Engineers, and Maintainers to support operations.
The Engineering vehicles fleet will be renewed and developed in the future with the introduction of new machinery. By being embedded within the Engineering team you will be able to influence scope and steer projects into an optimised direction so that all assurance and maintenance activities are resolved at design stage. Engineering hazard identifications and mitigations will be key to this role.
You will support the Professional Head of Plant in creating business strategies and developing capability throughout the Plant team.
Essential

Free travel for you on the TfL network
Reimbursement of 75% of the cost of a standard class Ticket for National Rail travel from home or 75% reimbursement on a 28-day flexi ticket
30 days annual leave plus public and bank holidays
TfL is committed to work-life balance, operating a hybrid working approach where business and role requirements allow
Private healthcare discounted scheme (optional)
Tax-efficient cycle-to-work programme
Retail, health, leisure and travel offers

Hybrid working within this role enables a balance of 50 per cent of time split between the office and home over a 4 week period. Hybrid working arrangements can evolve subject to business requirements.
We will make every effort to give you as much notice as possible, however some interviews/assessments could be organised at short notice.
