System Engineer Role Description LU Asset Performance Delivery (APD) is responsible for the maintenance and renewal of the asset base that makes up the London Underground transport network including Rolling Stock, Signalling and Track assets, civils infrastructure, stations & premises, building services and station systems and the power network. The next phase in LU Engineering's activities to modernise how LU APD manages and maintains their assets commenced in April 2025 with the start of a five year programme of work. This sees LU APD move from making changes to realise short term financial savings to one that is more ambitious in scope, to deliver systemic change to optimise the maintenance intervention on the assets, across the operate-maintain phase of the asset lifecycle. We are seeking high calibre System Engineers with experience of system engineering across the entirety of the asset lifecycle, to play a pivotal role in leading the development and delivery of this Engineering initiative. The objective is to drive modernisation of maintenance across all asset classes in London Underground, through transformation, towards a cost, performance and risk optimised maintenance approach based on data-driven maintenance. The System Engineers: will be required to lead, guide and direct engineers in system engineering principles (internal and external) to identify, develop and deliver the system engineering deliverables will be required to deliver requirements management (DOORS), Model Based System Engineering (using Enterprise Architect) and other system engineering deliverables will be primarily focussed on driving change within the Operate/Maintain phase of the asset lifecycle and predominantly to existing assets and maintenance regimes. The scope is across all assets that make up the LU railway system. It is recognised that experience in the maintenance and management of an asset type generates competence / knowledge which is transferable to other asset areas. Hence this scope is not requiring specific asset or engineering domain experience. But the following experience is considered relevant to successfully delivering the scope: delivering asset maintenance and managing assets understanding the railway as an integrated system 1 understanding the associated Operational safety and reliability risk of any change Stakeholder engagement is fundamental and extensive and includes LU APD management teams, maintenance staff, support functions such as Finance, Procurement & Commercial, Asset Strategy and TfL Engineering Professional Heads, Asset Strategy and external organisations. It is necessary that change driven through this programme of work aligns with the technical and asset strategies TfL has defined. In some cases, the scope of this work will help develop these strategies and the thinking behind them. The broad range of personal and management competencies needed align with Level 4/Expert level for the 5 generic competencies detailed within the TfL E&AS Competency Framework which cover: Knowledge and Understanding Design, Development and Solving Problems Responsibility, Management and Leadership Communication and Interpersonal Skills Personal and Professional Commitment
