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 civil engineers, as well as 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 practices 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.

4. Review and evaluate strategies and policies of the infrastructure manager, train operating companies, and freight operating companies.
5. Review and monitor Network Rail's regulated outputs, including strategic business plans, annual returns, and progress with achieving best practice.
6. Lead engagement and chair liaison meetings in relevant areas.
7. Manage consultants or external advisors and develop proposals for Independent Reporter audits to investigate areas of concern.
8. Represent the ORR in external working groups and research projects, coordinating activities with the wider EE&AM and ORR teams.
