Job Description
Systems & Safety Engineer (Rail) — a role designed for a postgraduate systems or safety engineer ready to build a career supporting complex rail programme delivery, working alongside senior systems and safety engineers on compliance, assurance and evidence-based decision making.
The Opportunity
Our client is a respected rail engineering consultancy known for delivering high-quality engineering, systems and assurance expertise across major rail programmes. As they continue to grow their Systems Engineering capability, they are seeking a Systems & Safety Engineer to support senior colleagues across live rail programme delivery.
This role plays a genuinely hands-on part in ensuring systems and safety deliverables are defined, traced, verified and evidenced throughout the project lifecycle — helping deliver safe, reliable and compliant outcomes for clients and end users.
Key Responsibilities
* Supporting systems and safety deliverables across major rail programmes
* Managing requirements and maintaining traceability throughout the project lifecycle
* Assisting with verification and validation (V&V) activities and building evidence packs
* Working closely with senior systems and safety engineers on compliance and assurance
* Contributing to documentation, hazard logs, and cross-discipline interface discussions
* Supporting wider programme assurance activity as required
Safety & Hazard Log Experience — A Valuable Bonus
While full training and mentoring will be provided, candidates with any exposure to hazard logs, safety case development, or wider safety-related risk assessment will bring useful additional depth. Not essential, but a strong complement to solid systems engineering fundamentals.
What You'll Bring
* A postgraduate qualification in systems engineering, safety engineering, or a related discipline
* Around 2–3 years' relevant experience
* Based in Leeds or within approximately an hour's commute
* An understanding of requirements management and traceability principles
* Strong communication skills and confidence working with multi-disciplinary teams
* A genuine interest in rail systems safety and assurance work
What This Role Offers
* The chance to build a career supporting major rail programme delivery
* A consultancy environment that invests properly in developing engineers early in their career
* Direct mentoring from senior systems and safety engineers
* Clear progression pathways within systems engineering and assurance
How to Apply
If you're ready to take the next step in your systems engineering career and want to contribute to programmes that shape the future of rail travel, we'd love to hear from you. Send your CV or get in touch with Neo Recruitment for a confidential conversation
