Delivery Engineer in London

Reporting to the Senior Project Manager, the Tunnel Systems (TS) delivery engineer will play a key role within a team responsible for the development of the design and delivery for the in-tunnel mechanical and electrical systems. The team will also be responsible for the TS interface with SCADA. The TS delivery engineer will support product selection to ensure that the products are selected that enable efficient installation, testing & commissioning and maintenance of the system. The role will include liaison and integration with the Rail Systems teams to establish the most effective and efficient TS design to support the ease of installation, testing and commissioning. The design will focus on maximising offsite manufacturing opportunities and minimising risk to the commissioning phase and ensure that the systems can be operated and maintained in line with the requirements. The TS delivery engineer will be responsible for the development of an optimised programme which seeks to implement modern methods of construction and production thinking. The development of these ideas will be through the Initial Value Management (IVM) phase of the Contract and will support the development of an integrated programme within the Rail Systems Alliance.
