Ensure assets and systems are energy efficient, integrated, connected and enabled to minimise the operating cost, the operational carbon emissions and facilitate effective operations and management of the railway.
Role

• Uphold the requirement for an energy efficient railway by engaging cross functionally with colleagues to provide clarity on how this will be achieved at a system and asset level.
• Coordinate and work collaboratively with colleagues to ensure assets and systems meet energy efficiency requirements.
• Ensure systems are integrated (metering, data, controls, maintenance & analytical software) in order to enable effective management of energy in the operation of the railway.
• Work with the Infrastructure Manager to develop energy-related high level operating procedures that deliver energy efficiency and management. This will enable effective design and commissioning of energy systems.
• Specify and implement technologies, requirements and systems for accurate energy data collection and analyses. This will enable monitoring and improvements in energy performance during operation of the railway.
• Support in commercial and technical evaluation of revenue generation opportunities related to energy assets.
• Assess the technical feasibility of initiatives to improve the integration into the future UK energy infrastructure, capturing commercial opportunities and enabling decarbonisation of the grid.
• Identify and embed appropriate standards and certification (e.g, ISO 50001).
• Keep up to date with industry and best practice.
• Actively promote and embed Equality Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) in all your work, and support and comply with all organisational initiatives, policies and procedures on EDI
