Key Responsibilities
* Develop and implement the Systems Integration Management Plan and overall integration strategy for the railway project.
* Lead the coordination and integration of railway systems including signalling, communications, traction power, SCADA, OCC, rolling stock, platform systems, depot systems, and associated infrastructure.
* Manage system interfaces between rail systems, civil works, stations, depots, operational teams, external stakeholders, and project delivery packages.
* Establish, maintain, and monitor system interface registers to ensure all interfaces are identified, assigned, tracked, coordinated, and resolved.
* Coordinate multidisciplinary technical teams to deliver integrated and consistent system design outputs across design, tender, construction, testing, and commissioning stages.
* Ensure effective integration between infrastructure, stations, operational systems, depots, airport-related interfaces, and external systems where applicable.
* Coordinate with operators, authorities, contractors, consultants, specialist system providers, and operational stakeholders on integration requirements and interface resolution.
* Facilitate systems integration workshops, technical coordination meetings, design reviews, interface sessions, and issue resolution discussions.
* Support Systems Engineering activities including requirements management, interface definition, verification, validation, traceability, and integration assurance.
* Work with Configuration and Requirements Management teams to maintain alignment across system baselines, interface definitions, requirements flow-down, and change control.
* Identify integration risks, interface conflicts, operational constraints, technical gaps, and delivery issues that may affect system performance or readiness.
* Develop and follow up mitigation strategies for unresolved interfaces, integration risks, design inconsistencies, testing gaps, and stakeholder alignment issues.
* Lead system integration reviews to confirm that interfaces, operational requirements, safety obligations, and performance expectations are properly addressed.
* Monitor integration progress and support timely resolution of technical and operational issues across project teams.
* Support testing and commissioning activities including FAT, SAT, SIT, integrated testing, trial operations, reliability demonstration, and operational readiness.
* Ensure all systems integration work complies with project requirements, railway standards, safety requirements, operational objectives, and approved procedures.
* Support construction and delivery teams by clarifying system interfaces, implementation responsibilities, access constraints, and integration requirements during execution.
* Provide technical leadership, reporting, and decision support to project management on systems integration progress, risks, and key dependencies.
Ideal Profile
* Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or a related technical discipline from a recognized university.
* Minimum 10 years of relevant experience in rail projects, rail operations, railway systems, or major transportation infrastructure.
* Strong understanding of railway systems including signalling, communications, traction power, OCC, SCADA, rolling stock, platform systems, and depot systems.
* Proven experience managing multidisciplinary technical teams and complex system interfaces on large infrastructure or rail projects.
* Experience in Systems Engineering processes, interface management methodologies, integration assurance, requirements management, verification, validation, and traceability.
* Strong understanding of operational interfaces, testing and commissioning processes, trial operations, and operational readiness activities.
* Experience coordinating with authorities, operators, contractors, consultants, specialist suppliers, and project stakeholders in complex multidisciplinary environments.
* Good knowledge of design development stages, tender documentation, rail integration processes, construction interfaces, and handover requirements.
* Professional certification or membership in a relevant engineering or systems institute will be an advantage.
* Excellent communication, coordination, leadership, and stakeholder management skills.
* Strong analytical and organizational ability with the confidence to manage technical complexity, competing priorities, and interface-related risks.
* Practical problem-solving mindset with the ability to support decisions that balance safety, performance, programme, cost, and operational requirements.
