We plan, manage and deliver structured rail projects end to end, with clear communication, strong compliance and disciplined reporting.

This role is for engineers who are experienced in live rail environments and understand the standards required to operate safely and professionally.

• Testing, fault-finding and corrective works
• Supporting structured handovers and completion reporting
• Working closely with delivery managers to ensure works are properly planned and executed

• Proven electrical experience within rail or similar safety critical environments
• Experience working within live rail or possession environments
• ECS or JIB Gold Card preferred
• Strong understanding of rail safety and compliance standards

• Familiarity with digital reporting systems

What You Can Expect

• Projects that are properly planned and professionally managed
• Clear communication and defined expectations
• Operational support from an organised delivery team
• Opportunity to contribute to Smart FT’s expanding rail capability
• Competitive salary aligned with rail experience and certification, plus opportunities for long-term rail project involvement

We are building additional capacity to support current maintenance contracts and to position for larger managed rail opportunities. We are looking for engineers who take pride in structured delivery and high standards.
