YOUR FUTURE ROLE

Take on a new challenge and apply your technical expertise in a new cutting-edge field. You’ll report to the Maintenance Engineering Lead Engineer and work alongside dedicated and passionate teammates.
You’ll be working as part of a team of Engineers across the DMU/DEMU fleet platform delivering activities and projects to provide a safe, reliable and cost-efficient fleet of trains, which meets the Train Operator’s presentation requirements and complies with their Safety Case obligations.
The role will involve travel to other depot locations in close proximity when required. It also involves working a shift pattern including nights to provide Engineering support 24/7.

We’ll look to you for:

• Planning and delivery readiness (inc. BoM’s, work instructions & configuration) for planned maintenance activities, as defined by the Vehicle Maintenance Instruction.
• Ensure that the specified fleet maintenance regime is certificated, adhered to and complies with all relevant legislation, and associated limitations are effectively managed.
• Use engineering knowledge, problem solving skills, standard project management techniques and awareness of standards and the constraints of the delivery organisation to support, justify and manage changes.

We value passion and attitude over experience. That’s why we don’t expect you to have every single skill. Instead, we’ve listed some that we think will help you succeed and grow in this role:
