• Collaborate effectively with the client team while advocating for best‑for‑project outcomes.
• Liaise with design, construction and assurance teams to address System Safety and NTSN concerns; draft and manage Technical Queries and contractual communications, with a working knowledge of early warnings, general communications and change events.
• Support the Rail Systems Discipline lead in production and maintenance interface management plans, ensuring assurance processes are followed and client comments are resolved.
• Review short‑notice construction changes, assess System Safety and NTSN impacts, and coordinate resolutions with stakeholders.
• Coordinate and support appointed body reviews for NTSN and CSM‑RA.
