Responsibilities
* Provide technical leadership across multiple scopes and projects, directing onshore and offshore engineering teams.
* Accountable for design quality, compliance, and delivery, leading design reviews and driving validation through mock-ups and simulations.
* Perform mechanical engineering activities in compliance with QCD commitments: Quality, Cost, Delivery.
* Design products considering project requirements (performance, manufacturability, serviceability, testing, etc.) and achieve acceptance by the customer within committed limits.
* Work within an agreed budget.
* Self-govern own deliverables and team deliverables, ensuring compliance with applicable instructions, processes and specific customer requirements.
* Manage and contribute to the design of mechanical engineering solutions from concept to customer acceptance, considering critical design elements such as weight, gauge, acoustics, eco design, ergonomics, aerodynamics, installation strategy and maintenance strategy.
* Contribute to project plan and budget creation; report on mechanical domain activities progress; anticipate issues and alert as needed.
* Lead regular cross-functional team reviews during the concept phase and support procurement, industrialisation and manufacturing teams during production ramp-up.
* Mitigate potential delays effectively and communicate risks or blocking points.
* Lead multiple scopes across multiple projects and ensure the team's output complies with technical, project and customer expectations.
* Lead design reviews and verify design via mock-ups and/or simulations as required.
Technical Requirements
* Scope areas: Rolling-stock saloon interior (floors, ceilings, sidewalls, vestibules, equipment installations); Exterior installations (roof, underframe, bodyside equipment). All scopes are a mixture of build-to-print and proprietary equipment installations.
* Knowledge of 3D parametric modelling using Catia V5 or comparable high-end CAD systems; production of 2D detail drawings from full installation level down to individual parts.
* Bill of Material (BOM) creation and management, concept design and translation of customer requirements into compliant solutions.
* 3D/2D and technical document checking and approval to relevant internal/external standards.
* Material selection (steel, aluminium, composites, rubber) and mechanical jointing techniques including bolting, welding and bonding.
* Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T); tolerance application; performance and approval of tolerance stack-up calculations.
* Understanding of material properties and associated risks such as bimetallic corrosion.
* Knowledge of manufacturing processes (sheet metal, casting, extrusion, moulding, etc.) and clash detection and resolution, structural compliance and weight management.
* Familiarity with e-codesign principles, including fire & smoke requirements and ergonomics.
* Root cause analysis and fault finding using methodologies such as 5-Why and fishbone analysis.
* Strong time management, sense of urgency and prioritisation.
* Structured, organised, hands-on approach to engineering tasks.
* Clear and effective communication skills with internal and external stakeholders.
Desired Skills
* Qualification: Degree level or equivalent experience in Mechanical Engineering.
* Experience in leading others and working as part of a cross-functional team.
* Proficiency with SAP.
* Experience with Catia V6.
Benefits
* Long-term career stability, challenges, and opportunities across functions and countries.
* Dynamic, inclusive, and safety-focused working environment.
* Investment in development through award-winning learning.
* Fair and dynamic reward package that recognises performance and potential.
* Comprehensive social coverage (life, medical, pension).
* Up to 52 weeks full maternity and adoption pay.
* 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays, with the option to buy or sell holiday.
* A wide range of flexible benefits that you can tailor to suit your lifestyle.
