In this role you will provide the professional engineering ability and leadership required to ensure that assets constructed by the Track Project teams are appropriate to meet TfL's current and future needs, and that the implementation will achieve a compliant and cost-effective asset in a way that will have the least detrimental effect on TfL services.
