Job Title 
 
 Contractor's Engineering Manager (CEM) - Telecoms / Software-Focused Systems 
 
 Contract Details 
 
 Contract Length: Minimum 9 months 
 
 IR35 Status: Outside IR35 
 
 Start Date: ASAP 
 
 Location: Predominantly remote with occasional travel to Cheadle, Stockport 
 
 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). 
 
 The OKMS is a software-based, cyber-secure telecoms system used by train drivers to log into operational systems.

Civils or signalling-only backgrounds are unlikely to be suitable. 
 
 The OKMS scope represents approximately 40-50% of the workload; however, candidates with a strong telecoms background will be able to support the role full time.
