* Identify systems integration risks, interface conflicts, unresolved dependencies, operational gaps, and technical challenges.
* Develop mitigation strategies that support project objectives, operational safety, schedule control, maintainability, and long-term system performance.
* Lead systems integration reviews to verify that interfaces, operational needs, functional requirements, and project requirements are properly addressed.
* Monitor integration progress and support timely resolution of technical, operational, contractor, and stakeholder issues.
* Support testing and commissioning activities including FAT, SAT, SIT, integrated testing, trial operations, and operational readiness.
* Ensure compliance with project requirements, railway standards, safety expectations, operational objectives, systems engineering processes, and contractual obligations.
* Support construction and delivery teams by ensuring system interfaces are clearly defined, communicated, implemented, and verified.
* Provide technical direction on tender documentation, design development, systems integration requirements, and interface control deliverables.
* Prepare integration reports, risk updates, action trackers, technical summaries, review comments, and management presentations for project leadership.
* Promote disciplined integration governance, clear communication, and practical issue resolution across multidisciplinary and multinational project teams.
Ideal Profile
* Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or a related field from a recognized university.
