Job Title 
 
 Contractor's Engineering Manager (CEM) - Telecoms / Software-Focused Systems 
 
 Contract Details 
 
 Contract Length: Minimum 9 months

 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).
