Are you interested in developing, delivering & creating a legacy for the very first Signalling System in the World on a Highspeed Railway to install Automatic Train Operation (ATO) over European Train Control System (ETCS) technology?
Looking for someone with strong signalling principles knowledge and experience on major resignalling schemes. While ATO or ETCS experience is not mandatory, a comprehensive understanding of the whole CCS system – including Interlocking, Control System, and Track Side (Train detection) – is essential. Candidates may have worked as a Signalling Solution Architect and understand how the whole CCS system is designed.
A Senior Command Control & Signalling Engineer is required to work for the Client Organisation (HS2), responsible for the New High-Speed Rail project in the UK. This multi-billion-pound high-speed railway directly links the city centres of London, Birmingham, Leeds, and Manchester. The role sits within the Chief Engineering Group (Central Engineering) working in a specialist, highly regarded Command Control & Signalling team, which acts as the Technical Authority for CCS.
The Senior Command, Control & Signalling Engineer (CCS Engineer) will be responsible for delivering significant CCS engineering activities in accordance with the CCS strategy across the entire HS2 project, as well as developing the technical standards and specifications for system design and construction. The job holder will engage with programme stakeholders and, under the leadership of the Lead CCS Engineer, provide strategic direction for business-critical workstreams.
Reporting to the Lead CCS Engineer, the role is within a specialist CCS technical authority team of 4, who have largely finished specifying & defining requirements of the CCS system. Currently, the Command Control and Signalling Contract is out to tender, with the technical evaluation stage completed. Once the tender has been awarded, the role will provide assurance that the design, construction, and testing & commissioning phases meet project requirements and resolve issues where appropriate.
Working Situation – Hybrid: The role is based from the Euston, London, or Birmingham office, coupled with hybrid working. The expectation is to work 2 days a week from the office and the rest of the time at home. Overall, this is a very flexible modern employer who cares about delivery, not where you deliver from. However, if you wish to be based more from the office, that is also an option.

Duties & Responsibilities
Engaging and managing stakeholders to ensure a holistic approach for the development of engineering solutions. Supporting in providing technical assurance for the CCS engineering discipline. Working closely with the wider engineering disciplines to develop CCS solutions that consider all relevant systems and sub-systems. Developing requirements, specifications, and standards that deliver railway capability while mitigating environmental impacts within the programme and budget. Contributing to the management of technical risk for CCS engineering works. Providing technical expertise and advice related to CCS engineering to the wider project organisation and external stakeholders. Conducting work in accordance with strategies for management of interfaces between CCS and other infrastructure systems, Network Rail, and other 3rd party infrastructure. Actively promoting and embedding Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) in all work, and supporting and complying with all organisational initiatives, policies, and procedures on EDI. Required Criteria
Overview: We are looking for a Senior Command Control and Signalling Engineer with experience & knowledge to enable you to be a Technical Authority. Your experience could be from Contractor, Client, or Consultant backgrounds. Candidates with purely Project Engineer backgrounds would not suffice; design experience (Signalling CRE equivalent) is necessary, as well as an understanding of the Signalling System and its interface with the rest of the rail systems. We are interested in candidates who are Senior CCS / Signalling Design Managers, Engineering Managers, or currently technical authorities within client organisations, or Signalling engineers from a Testing Facility background. The candidates will likely be Chartered or nearing chartership. Skills: Provides specialist technical support and leadership on all discipline-specific scientific, technical, and engineering principles to those working directly with project development / delivery teams in the area or phase. Capable of being a Standard Discipline Owner / Subject Matter Expert for the area or phase. Provides technical, commercial management, and leadership skills to support those working directly with project development / delivery teams in the area or phase. Ability to communicate most discipline-specific technical ideas to stakeholders and colleagues, based on examples of application. Ability to apply the full range of principles relating to standards, safety, and the environment. Applies principles and methods that ensure effective information management, modelling, and data security; understands the approaches and consequences of data creation, transformation, and visualisation, knowing when to seek guidance from other Subject Matter Experts or others. Knowledge: Knowledge of the Common Safety Method (CSM) for risk evaluation and assessment and its relevance to CCS projects. Understanding of Control, Command, and Signalling Systems and their relationship to railway operations, with in-depth knowledge in numerous areas of CCS. Basic understanding of the specific technical issues associated with high-speed rail, the European Train Control System (ETCS), and Automatic Train Operation (ATO). Understanding of the development, design, and construction of similar CCS Systems. Application of technical standards, both national and international, which apply to Traffic Management & Rail Control Systems and railway system design and operation. Awareness of the technical issues associated with current and future Traffic Management & Rail Control Systems technology. Chartered Engineer (or working towards) / Membership of an appropriate professional institution or equivalent experience. Type of experience: Development or delivery of Traffic Management & Rail Control Systems associated with modern railways or similar client organisations. Establishment of requirements and evaluation of proposed solutions. Project planning and organisation to meet significant project deadlines, including cost delivery and schedule targets.
