Overview An experienced Contractor's Engineering Manager (CEM) is required to take over an existing role due to retirement. The role supports a rail-based programme currently at GRIP 6, entering SIT/SAT testing, and centres on an Online Key Management System (OKMS).

While the solution has strong software and cyber-security elements, this is not a pure software role. A telecoms engineering background is essential. Civils or signalling-only backgrounds are unlikely to be suitable. The OKMS scope represents approximately 40-50% of the workload; however, candidates with a strong telecoms background will be able to support the role full time.
