What You’ll Be Doing:

• Lead and manage the overall coordination, integration, and delivery of all rail systems across all project stages.

• Oversee multidisciplinary rail systems including signalling (ATC/CBTC), telecommunications, traction power, SCADA, OCC systems, rolling stock, platform systems, PSDs, depot systems, and associated infrastructure interfaces. 

• Ensure full integration between rail systems, airport interfaces, passenger systems, operational interfaces, and baggage handling systems where applicable. 

• Manage systems integration activities and coordinate interfaces between civil, architectural, MEP, railway systems, airport systems, and operational stakeholders. 

• Support development of rail systems strategies, operational concepts, technical requirements, and system performance criteria for express railway operations. 

• Lead Systems Engineering coordination including requirements management, interface management, verification, validation, and systems assurance support activities. 

• Coordinate preparation and review of Design and Construct tender documentation related to rail systems, technical specifications, interface requirements, and operational integration requirements. 

• Support testing and commissioning activities including FAT, SAT, SIT, integrated testing, trial operations, and operational readiness for all rail systems. 

• Coordinate with designers, contractors, operators, airport stakeholders, authorities, and independent assessors to ensure alignment with project objectives and regulatory requirements. 

• Identify and manage technical, operational, interface, and integration risks associated with rail systems delivery and implement mitigation measures. 

• Ensure compliance with project specifications, operational requirements, international railway standards, and applicable authority regulations. 

• Provide technical leadership and support to the Project Manager and multidisciplinary teams throughout the delivery of large-scale rail and airport-integrated infrastructure projects 

What Required Skills You’ll Bring:
