Looking for a Principal Control System Engineer for a pivotal
Senior Dispatch Systems Engineer
to work on High Speed Two. This is a unique opportunity for an experienced control systems engineer to work for the client organization on the largest infrastructure project in Europe and develop a novel Train Dispatch system. This cutting-edge system will involve advanced technology and operational procedures designed to ensure smooth, efficient, and importantly safe boarding of trains. This is novel first-of-its-kind technology and a step change in railway innovation & safety. The Senior Dispatch Systems Engineer is the SME (technical authority for train dispatch) providing technical and professional support for the train dispatch systems. Responsibilities include delivering workstreams such as the development of requirements, standards, technical specifications, and system architectures for the train dispatch systems at HS2 stations. They provide technical assurance that the design and construction of the train dispatch systems assets meet project requirements and work to resolve issues where appropriate. The tender is due to be awarded at the end of 2025, and so will be part of the tender evaluation team.
Key Responsibilities: Specifying and developing requirements, standards, technical specifications & system architecture for the train dispatch system. After tender award, technical assurance of the system design taking the product through the project lifecycle. Act as the technical authority on the project, ensuring the design, build, and testing phases align with best practices and client requirements. Represent the client during project phases, providing leadership and guidance through the entire system implementation.
Ideal Candidates: We are looking for engineers with a systems engineering background who can manage complex control systems. Ideal candidates may come from a variety of backgrounds, such as: Knowledge of development, design, and construction of video surveillance systems, driver-only operation systems, and systems providing Safety Integrity Level 2 (BS EN50128) functionality (specific to the rail industry or other relevant standard). Expertise in areas such as Automated Passenger Counting (APC), Platform Management, Train Departure Control, and Communication-Based Train Control (CBTC). Experience with Traffic Management Systems and Aircraft Control Systems. Familiarity with ERTMS (European Rail Traffic Management System), particularly Train Management (TM) systems, would be highly beneficial. This is a novel system, and we welcome candidates from diverse fields, although knowledge of the operational railway is an advantage.
Working Situation: The office location is London, Euston, or Birmingham, and they operate a flexible hybrid working model, working around 2 days a week from the office. Overall, this is a very flexible modern employer who cares about delivery, not where you deliver from. However, if you wish to be based from the office more, you can.
Salary: Birmingham: £65,000 - £71,160 pen (6:12) + 25 holidays (Potentially £74,718) London: £75,760 pen (6:12) + 25 holidays (Potentially £84,796)
