Senior Earthing & Bonding Engineer

Opis stanowiska

We are seeking an experienced Earthing & Bonding (E&B) Engineer to join our team on a Light Rail Transit (LRT) project. You will play a key role in the design, coordination, and assurance of traction power earthing and bonding systems, ensuring compliance with safety standards and successful integration across all railway systems.

This is a technical, delivery-focused role suited to an engineer with strong experience in electrical safety, stray current mitigation, and system integration, with involvement across design, site activities, and Testing & Commissioning phases.

Responsibilities:

E&B Design & Systems Engineering

• Produce detailed Earthing & Bonding (E&B) designs for traction power substations and route-wide systems.
• Develop technical reports, calculations, and safety documentation to support design justification and client handover.
• Review and approve technical drawings, material specifications, and installation methodologies.
• Perform electrical modelling and calculations using industry-standard tools (e.g. CDEGS).
• Ensure designs comply with relevant standards, including EN 50122-1 and EN 50122-2.

Stray Current & Electrical Safety

• Develop and implement stray current mitigation strategies in accordance with EN 50122-2.
• Ensure all designs mitigate risks associated with touch and step voltages in line with EN 50122-1.
• Support safety assurance activities, including hazard identification, risk mitigation, and compliance demonstration.

Interface Management

• Coordinate with Track, Civil, Traction Power, Signalling, Telecoms, and Urban Realm disciplines to ensure full system integration.
• Manage interfaces between E&B systems and external stakeholders, including utility providers (water, gas, telecoms).
• Assess and mitigate risks related to electrical interference on third-party assets

Testing & Commissioning Support

• Conduct site-based testing including soil resistivity surveys and Fall of Potential (FoP) testing.
• Support continuity, resistance, and earthing verification testing.
• Provide technical support during Testing & Commissioning, including issue resolution and system validation.

Technical Advisory & Coordination

• Act as a key technical point of contact for clients and stakeholders on E&B matters.
• Present technical solutions and design updates at project and client meetings.
• Support coordination across design, construction, and commissioning phases to ensure safe and compliant delivery.

Collaboration & Coordination

• Work closely with systems engineers, integrators, design consultants, project managers, and subcontractors.
• Attend coordination and technical meetings, representing the telecom discipline in design, integration, and T&C discussions.

Provide engineering input to RAMS, safety assurance, cybersecurity, and operational readiness activities as they relate to telecom systems.

Essential

• Degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline.
• Proven experience in Earthing & Bonding design within rail, LRT, or infrastructure projects
• Strong knowledge of EN 50122-1 (Electrical safety, touch/step voltage) & EN 50122-2 (Stray current mitigation)
• Experience with electrical modelling tools (e.g. CDEGS or equivalent).
• Experience in interface coordination and multidisciplinary design environments.
• Experience supporting Testing & Commissioning activities.
• Strong communication and technical reporting skills.

Desirable

• Previous experience on Light Rail or Metro projects.
• Familiarity with UK railway standards and regulations.
• Chartered Engineer status or working towards it (e.g. CEng with IET).
• Knowledge of safety‑critical systems, RAMS processes, and cybersecurity considerations for telecom networks.
