Role Context
The EMC Expert - Rail Systems will support Parsons in delivering a high-performance railway program by providing technical direction across design, analysis, integration, testing, commissioning, and compliance stages. The role focuses on ensuring that EMC, stray current, earthing and bonding, and noise and vibration requirements are properly planned, coordinated, verified, and integrated with signalling, telecom, power, rolling stock, SCADA, AFC, airport interfaces, and other critical rail systems.
Key Responsibilities
* Provide expert technical direction on electromagnetic compatibility, stray current management, earthing and bonding, and noise and vibration requirements across all project phases.
* Develop and implement EMC management plans, stray current control strategies, earthing and bonding schemes, and technical compliance frameworks.
* Lead technical reviews, engineering audits, design assessments, and quality checks to ensure alignment with contractual requirements and international standards.
* Identify risks related to EMC interference, stray current, system compatibility, vibration impacts, and operational performance, then define practical mitigation measures.
* Review and approve technical specifications, design drawings, calculations, modelling outputs, engineering reports, and contractor documentation.
* Apply advanced modelling and simulation tools to predict and analyze EMC behavior, stray current performance, noise and vibration impact, and system interaction.
* Coordinate EMC, stray current, earthing and bonding, and noise and vibration requirements across rail infrastructure and systemwide disciplines.
* Manage technical interfaces with signalling systems, ATC, CBTC, telecom, power supply, rolling stock, SCADA, AFC, depot systems, and operational control systems.
* Support integration with airport systems, passenger flow requirements, and baggage handling systems where applicable.
* Contribute to rolling stock interface definition for express rail services to ensure compatibility with infrastructure and system requirements.
* Align technical delivery with systems engineering processes including requirements management, verification, validation, traceability, and compliance reporting.
* Oversee testing and commissioning activities, including development of test plans, procedures, inspection requirements, validation methods, and compliance checks.
* Review test results, identify non-conformances, recommend corrective actions, and confirm that system performance meets project requirements.
* Collaborate with project managers, contractors, consultants, clients, and stakeholders to maintain integration quality, schedule alignment, and delivery progress.
* Prepare technical reports, presentations, compliance updates, audit findings, and recommendations for clients and senior stakeholders.
* Support continuous improvement of engineering processes, technical methodologies, project controls, and multidisciplinary coordination practices.
Ideal Profile
* Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field from a recognized university.
* Minimum 15 years of experience in the AECO industry or a relevant technical field.
* Minimum 15 years of experience in EMC, stray current, earthing and bonding, and noise and vibration engineering within rail or transportation projects.
* Minimum 10 years of experience in rail projects or rail operations in the GCC or international markets.
* Proven experience on large-scale metro, subway, express railway, or major rail infrastructure programs.
* Strong technical background in managing complex infrastructure engineering scopes across design, integration, testing, and commissioning.
* Strong knowledge of EMC standards and regulations, including IEC, EN, and IEEE standards.
* Experience using advanced modelling and simulation tools for EMC, stray current, noise and vibration, and system performance analysis.
* Strong understanding of rail systems integration, including signalling, telecom, power, rolling stock, SCADA, AFC, and operational interfaces.
* Experience with airport integration, passenger flow interfaces, and baggage handling systems coordination will be an advantage.
* Familiarity with rolling stock requirements for express services and related infrastructure interfaces.
* Experience preparing and executing test plans, validation procedures, compliance checks, and commissioning documentation.
* Client-facing consultancy experience with strong stakeholder management and technical presentation capability.
* Familiarity with systems engineering principles, requirements management, verification, and validation.
* Strong leadership, communication, analytical, reporting, coordination, and problem-solving skills.
* Good understanding of project delivery processes, construction management, budget control, cost considerations, and large-scale program execution.
