Position: Rolling Stock Engineer with a Maintenance bias

Location: Hybrid

Salary: Competitive basic, with excellent company benefits including competitive pension scheme and private healthcare

AEGIS Engineering Systems, part of the IKOS Group, is a railway engineering consultancy and fast becoming the industry consultancy of choice. Since our formation in 1997, we have built an industry-wide reputation for providing engineering expertise, innovative solutions, rapid responses, agile methods and value for money.

We are proud to offer employees an inspiring combination of a stimulating environment at the cutting edge of engineering in the railway arena, a supportive and encouraging working culture where work/life balance is a key element, and the opportunity to develop their skills and experience with one of the fastest growing engineering consultancies in the industry.

The Role:

As a part of the Rolling Stock Engineering team, you will be involved and successfully deliver a wide variety of maintenance engineering projects. The key focus of activity will be maintenance optimisation, helping clients such as Train Operators or Rolling Stock Leasing Companies to develop maintenance and overhaul manuals, extend or optimise schedules, condition-based maintenance or justify continued service operation of assets. In addition to maintenance projects there will be opportunities to be involved in other Rolling Stock engineering projects such as problem-solving tasks or feasibility studies.

As you might expect, the Rolling Stock team is not only involved in passenger rolling stock. We also undertake projects on locomotives as well as On-track Machines and engineering vehicles. The Rolling Stock type might be electric or battery and diesel powered but it may also be new, state-of-the-art technology such as battery / battery hybrid.

The role is hybrid, however a flexible mindset is essential. You may be required to work on-site at our client’s premises for a period of time, as well as in our Derby office or other locations as the job dictates.

Essential Skills/Knowledge:

• Proven background in Rolling Stock Maintenance or Fleet Engineering and project delivery, for example - Engineering department of a Maintenance Provider, Train Operator or Rolling Stock Leasing Company.
• Experience of working in the depot environment.
• Experience of applying professional engineering judgement to support engineering projects.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Desirable Requirements:

• Engineering Degree (BEng or MEng) or equivalent preferred
• Knowledge of engineering safety management and its application within the railway environment or equivalent would be an advantage.

An AEGIS engineer is one who combines excellent technical skills with a commitment to deliver first class service to our clients, whilst living the values and culture of the business – conscientiousness, respect, integrity, excellence and fun.
