Job description

Role Overview

Lead the design, integration and delivery of telecommunication and ICT systems for High‑Speed Rail (HSR) assets including stations, depots, stabling yards, OCC/CC and associated facilities. The role covers fixed and wireless communications, transmission networks, passenger information, public address, time synchronization and integration with rail operational systems and critical building systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead end‑to‑end design, integration and delivery of telecom/ICT systems for HSR assets including stations, depots/stabling yards, OCC/CC, back‑of‑house buildings and corridor‑wide communications.
• Develop Basis of Design (BoD), system architecture and design deliverables (concept to detailed design) for telecom systems, including but not limited to transmission/backbone networks (fiber backbone, OTN/MPLS/IP/WAN), station LAN, OCC networks.
• Structured cabling (copper/fiber), containment/pathways, telecom rooms (MDF/IDF), racks/ODF, patching and labeling philosophy.
• Radio communications (TETRA/DMR, LTE/5G, GSM‑R/FRMCS‑ready concepts where required), indoor/outdoor coverage planning; tunnel communications concepts such as leaky feeder where in scope.
• Telephony/VoIP (SIP/VoIP, hotline/emergency phones, help points).
• Wi‑Fi (public and operational), staff mobility solutions (if required).
• Passenger Information / CIS (PIDS) and Public Address / Voice Alarm (PA/VA) interfaces, zoning and priority philosophy.
• Master Clock / Time Synchronisation (GPS receivers, NTP/PTP distribution) for event correlation and operational systems.
• Telecom‑side integration considerations for CCTV/Security transport (in coordination with Security Systems).
• Produce and coordinate design outputs: system schematics, single line diagrams, network block diagrams, device layouts, telecom room layouts, equipment schedules, BOM, duct/fiber routing plans and interface matrices.
• Perform/coordinate network sizing and capacity engineering: bandwidth, QoS, latency/jitter considerations (voice), multicast where relevant, IP addressing concepts, PoE budgets (where applicable) and storage/transport assumptions for video and operational applications.
• Define resilience and redundancy philosophy (ring/topology concepts, N+1 for critical nodes), failover expectations, maintainability access, spares strategy and O&M handover requirements.
• Manage interfaces with OCC/CC operations and other rail systems: define segregation between corporate IT / operational networks / security networks and document interfaces to SCADA, BMS/EMS, signaling, power, maintenance systems, AFC (if applicable).
• Coordinate with Architecture (public area coverage, rooms/data sheets), MEP (power/UPS loads, HVAC requirements, earthing/grounding, fire interfaces), Civil/Structural (duct banks, trenches, mounting) and BIM teams to ensure spatial coordination and clash‑free design.
• Prepare technical specifications, Employer’s Requirements / performance specs, compliance matrices and support technical notes for authority submissions and stakeholder reviews (as applicable).
• Support procurement and vendor management: technical evaluations, RFIs, design reviews, workshops and value engineering while protecting performance and operational requirements.
• Lead and/or review testing, commissioning, and integration documentation and activities: FAT/SAT, network acceptance tests, end‑to‑end service verification (voice, radio coverage, PIDS/PA functions, time sync) and integration test plans.
• Apply project QA/QC and governance: ensure document control compliance, traceability of assumptions and effective management of design change impacts on telecom architecture.

Qualifications & Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Telecommunication.
• 12–14 years of experience designing security systems on large public/transport/critical facilities.
• Strong understanding of structured cabling, network design interfaces, and compliance processes.
