Senior Design Engineer (SCADA)

We have an exciting opportunity to join our client as a Lead Project Engineer in CIS within their Rail Infrastructure business.As a Lead Project Engineer, you will take ownership of the engineering delivery for defined work packages across one or more projects.&nbsp;You will ensure engineering requirements, standards, safety obligations, and customer expectations are fully met throughout the delivery lifecycle.You will often act as the Project Engineering Manager (PEM) on medium‑scale projects or lead engineering packages on larger programmes, coordinating multi‑disciplinary inputs, managing technical risk and ensuring robust integration, testing and assurance.&nbsp;This role is pivotal in the successful delivery of our CIS (Communications &amp; Information Systems) solutions.Daily Tasks will include:&nbsp; Leading the engineering delivery of work packages or serving as PEM on medium projects, ensuring scope, schedule, quality, cost, and safety objectives are achieved. Developing, maintaining, and executing the Project Engineering Management Plan (PEMP), tailoring engineering governance to project complexity.Driving engineering lifecycle activities: requirements capture, system design, integration, testing, V&amp;V, and commissioning readiness. Ensuring all engineering work complies with relevant standards, processes, technical specifications, and safety obligations (CDM/CSM). Coordinating technical interfaces across disciplines, suppliers, and subcontractors, ensuring “right first time” integration. Acting as the engineering representative to the PM, client, suppliers, and internal teams, ensuring consistent communication of requirements, changes, and engineering status.Requirements:&nbsp; Degree in Electrical, Electronic, Systems, or related Engineering discipline (or equivalent experience). Strong engineering delivery experience in SCADA, SISS, Control Systems, or large-scale integration projects. Proven capability delivering across the full engineering lifecycle; requirements, design, integration, test, V&amp;V, and commissioning. Experience acting as Work Package Manager, technical lead, or PEM on scoped project elements. Strong understanding of rail infrastructure environments, construction/installation constraints, and operational railway practices and the ability to demonstrate managing requirements, configuration, change, and engineering assurance processes effectively Background in multi-discipline environments such as SCADA, SISS, control systems, telecoms, M&amp;E, or line-wide system integration and software-intensive systems (desirable)&nbsp;
