Future of HS2 & Phase 1
Phase 1 of the project, which, is valued c£60 billion has 10 years left to run and the System Safety Interface Engineer will be there to check the system safety right the way through the life cycle of the project from Design, Construction through to Test and commissioning and so this is a very safe long term role with excellent opportunities for progression.
Overview of Role:
The role works within the Construction Engineering system safety team ensuring compliance of the main contractors design and construction of a safe, technically integrated and compliant future operational railway on Phase 1 (Stations, Civils, rail systems) – they will directly lead on risk assessments ensuring compliance with the Common Safety Method on Risk Evaluation an Assessment (CSM-RA). The Construction Engineering System Safety team sits in with the System Integration team. The Team also works with the independent HS2 CSM-RA Assessment Body (AsBO) and the Approved Body formally NoBo (interoperability compliance) on the assessment of Phase One projects.
Job Purpose
The successful candidate will be an engineer within the Construction Engineering system safety team responsible for the leadership of the system safety activities in Phase One of HS2, supporting the design and construction of a safe, technically integrated and compliant future operational railway.
Dimensions & Complexity of Role
As a member of the Construction Engineering system safety team, the role will interface with four Main Works Civil Contractors (MWCCs), four major stations, numerous railway system contracts covering track, OCS, M&E lineside and tunnel systems, etc., and multiple depots. The successful candidate will be making judgements of compliance of plans, risk assessments and designs against regulation and engineering best practice. Also judgement of compliance of the principles of system safety assessment and on the sufficiency of evidence to ensure that a safety requirement has been met. Complexities will include producing and/or reviewing detailed hazard records and potentially complex risk assessments and have the ability to interrogate and identify any non compliances to CSM-RA.
Working Situation
The office location is London, Euston (preferable) although open to Birmingham they operate a flexible hybrid working model working 2 day in the office - 3 from home. Overall, this is a very flexible modern employer who cares about delivery not where you deliver from, however, if you wish to be based front the office more you can.

Knowledge:
* Knowledge of the CSM-RA regulation or a similar application of engineering safety management.
* Knowledge of hazard identification and analysis techniques and management of hazards through hazard records.
* Working knowledge in HAZOP, Fault Tree and Event Tree analysis in a railway environment or similar.
* Knowledge of engineering safety management and compliance with EU and UK law relating to engineering safety
Type of experience:
* Experience in engineering safety management and compliance with EU and UK law relating to engineering safety.
* Experience of working in major rail infrastructure upgrade projects or alternatively, a level of consultancy experience in producing assessment and deliverables for a project of HS2 scale and scope.
* Experience of delivering evidence of system safety / engineering safety within a safety critical environment, e.g. aviation, rail, maritime, oil/gas, nuclear or military applications
