Overview of Role

Transport for London (TfL) is looking for an Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Engineer to join our Systems Performance & Integration team to help shape the future of TfL's assets and infrastructure across a diverse portfolio of projects and modes of transportation.

Supporting other EMC Engineers to deliver valuable engineering solutions to our clients and stakeholders, you will provide technical guidance, check & challenge designs against relevant TfL, British and International standards, engage with suppliers and stakeholders to manage EMC requirements, and support the mitigation and management of EMC risks. Working alongside our team of Engineers, you will help to create a culture of continuous improvement through the identification of best practice, innovation, whole life cost optimisation, and effective root cause analysis.

As a highly motivated and adaptable engineer, you will have experience of applying your EMC knowledge, skills, and experience across the project lifecycle: feasibility, concept design, detailed design, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance. You will be degree qualified and hold domain knowledge that is relevant to TfL transportation modes. You will have the ability to build effective working relationships at all levels of the organisation, present ideas succinctly to both engineers and non-engineering stakeholders; and represent TfL's interests with external parties.

It is equally important that you bring a passion for innovation and sustainability to help us to support London's transport needs and achieve our vision of being the strong, green heartbeat of London.
