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, 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 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.

The areas of interest include:

• The efficiency and sustainability of how railway stations, depots, and fixed plant are managed and operated.
• Lifecycle strategies and policies, including new and emerging technology areas for specialist building services in railway buildings.
• Accessibility of new and renewed station infrastructure, including vertical transportation such as lifts and escalators, for persons with disabilities and persons with reduced mobility.
• Pedestrian flows, e.g., designing for fire safety or overcrowding during special events.
• Complex station upgrades involving railway infrastructure and third-party development (e.g., local government or private developers).
• Possible impacts of climate change on railway buildings.

Main Responsibilities:

• Provide specialist technical and expert advice across all ORR directorates.
• Identify key risks and issues, then plan and deliver reviews of Network Rail, with recommendations for improvements.
• Contribute to the planning and development activities for the next periodic review, including specifying and developing the monitoring regime that will support the outcomes of this work.
• Review and evaluate strategies and policies of infrastructure managers, train operating companies, and freight operating companies.
• Review and monitor Network Rail's regulated outputs, including strategic business plans, annual returns, and progress towards best practice.
• Lead engagement and chair liaison meetings in relevant areas.
• Manage consultants or external advisors and develop proposals for Independent Reporter audits to investigate areas of concern.
• Represent the ORR in external working groups and research projects, coordinating activities with the wider EE&AM and ORR teams.

Mandatory Qualifications:

• Degree in Engineering or Science subject.
• Chartered or working towards Chartered Membership of an Engineering or equivalent institution.
