Brief Description

We are excited to offer a fantastic opportunity for a Compliance Engineer in our Eastern Region Assessment Team.


The Buildings & Civils Team (Assessment) is a hard-working, friendly team, offering engineering expertise and technical knowledge about our buildings and structures assets to a number of varied stakeholders. We work principally from offices in York and Stratford.


As a Compliance Engineer you will be undertaking a range of engineering and technical processes. Your role will be central to implementing our evolving data management and Asset Information strategy, which will address how we shift from the past - using manual, isolated processes, to the future - automated, integrated systems, that prioritise data quality, accessibility, and advanced analytics. This evolution will empower us to make better use of data for strategic decision-making and operational efficiency.


Your role will enable the Region to use the data, now held in the Intelligent Infrastructure Nest and Citadel systems and legacy data sets, to understand and visualise the risk and value profile of assets.


The role will develop and improve the close liaison with the Asset Engineers within the team, and also other disciplines including the Route Engineer, other discipline teams, Works Delivery, and Supply chain partners.


You will be a key part of the development of existing or new processes and tools to enable your vision. You will own the measures for tracking the capability of structures assets by managing the structures asset data and information in accordance with company standards and systems, to inform structures asset management plans to efficiently achieve corporate objectives. You will supervise trends arising from structures assessment work undertaken from asset capability, risk assessments and failure precursors to inform organisational strategic intent and consistent embedment of industry best practice. You will undertake engineering verification activities in support of assurance processes including the maintenance of audit programmes and you will manage the review of proposals from other disciplines or external organisations that could impact on the route structures assets and/or programmes of work to identify potential synergies or conflicts.
