Job Description
Engineering provides the infrastructure of the railway. We are concerned about the long-term
operation, maintenance, renewal, and enhancement of Engineering Assets. We support our
Operations, Economic and Safety colleagues in assuring a safe, economic, and reliable
railway.
The post holder will sit in the Railway Planning and Performance (RPP) Directorate working in the Civil Engineering team.
We are recruiting a Building Services Engineer (M&E) to provide specialist expertise in this area. This role will work closely with the civil engineers, but also with other teams across ORR including safety inspectors, economists and railway operations.
We work with Network Rail on its journey towards achieving best practice in engineering and asset management. We encourage Network Rail to adopt best practice by using appropriate data to challenge decisions about maintenance and renewal of assets over their lifecycle.
By achieving a more resilient and reliable network we can improve performance, efficiency and safety resulting in a better service for passengers and customers as well as value for taxpayers.
This is a great opportunity for someone to develop their knowledge of asset management, safety and economic regulation. There are interesting challenges ahead for the team, and we are therefore looking for an exceptional individual to help us drive forward our corporate
objectives.
