Our planning, engineering, environmental and management skills cover the whole project cycle. We play a major role in developing and delivering the Global Transport Sector Strategy.

Overview Of Role

Due to continued growth, the Systems Engineering and Assurance team are recruiting a Systems Engineer / Safety Engineer to join a friendly and dynamic team focussed on delivering systems engineering and/or safety assurance solutions to infrastructure, energy and technology projects.

Some of the key services provided by the team include:

The Systems / Safety Engineer will work alongside experienced professionals within multi-disciplinary teams and will gain experience of using industry standard toolsets on a range of challenging and dynamic projects.

We are working on a wide variety of UK rail projects from level crossing removals and station upgrades to the largest national railway infrastructure developments. We also provide support to international projects in countries such as Australia, Canada and the United States to name but a few.

As infrastructure projects increase in complexity, there is an ever-increasing need for the application of our services across a wider range of industries, including transportation, energy and power so we also welcome applications from individuals outside the railways industry to support the growing demand for our services.
