About the role:

Reporting to the Lead Engineering Manager, you will be responsible for managing Asset Protection measures to strengthen (or otherwise mitigate) NR assets, located adjacent to the HS2 railway, which will be adversely affected by ground movements occurring during construction of the new railway

Those structures identified as potentially requiring mitigation include: Railway Tunnels, Bridging Structures, Retaining Walls, OLE Structures, Permanent Way, and Signalling Gantries. Work is significantly underway with reports produced for structural surveys and structural assessments. A mitigation strategy is being finalized, and a plan to produce detailed engineering designs, drawings, and specifications, or other forms of mitigation is in preparation. The intent is for designs to be carried out in each instance, by our own Design House, or by external consultants, or by a design and build subcontractor

An understanding of the full range of NR disciplines is required to be able to interface / coordinate / integrate with other discipline specialists, including Assurance (Safety Case), System Requirements (Reliability, Interfacing, Coordination, Integration, Completions), Civil (including Buildings and Building Services), E&P (including OLE, SCADA, EMC, M&E, Traction Power, E&B), Track (Pway, Formation, Drainage), Signalling (Gantries, Signal Sighting), and Telecomm (Systems, Troughing)

Working with the Lead Engineering Manager, and Design Managers, you will manage and report progress against the mitigation delivery strategy to meet the construction programme; subsequently taking steps to ensure that no slippage occurs in the programme. Forecast dates should match the original scheduled dates unless a scope change to baseline is identified as being required and has been authorized by the project.

You will manage day-to-day interactions with internal (eg Construction, I&M, Procurement, Logistics etc) and work closely with other design managers, to ensure coordination of design elements throughout the contract and to identify change.

In association with others, you will accept completed designs, complete with assurance documentation. Assurance processes include those of HS2, SCS, NR, TfL, LBC, and Utility Companies
