The Opportunity
Are you a Signalling Control System Engineer with a strong Traffic Management Systems (TMS) background, interested in shaping next-generation signalling technology?
High Speed Two (HS2) is delivering a world-first signalling solution: ETCS integrated with Automatic Train Operation (ATO) and fully automated Traffic Management. This new CCS platform, combining new cutting-edge software and hardware will set the global benchmark for Command Control Sinalling systems across the world.
HS2 is seeking a Senior Signalling Control System Engineer (Traffic Management SME) to join its Central Engineering, Signalling Technical Authority team.

The Role
Reporting to the Lead CCS Engineer, you will work within a specialist Command, Control and Signalling (CCS) Technical Authority team.
Siemens has been awarded the CCS contract and is now progressing the system from concept design through scheme and detailed design, installation and commissioning, across a 10-year delivery programme.
This is a high-visibility, stakeholder-facing role, requiring strong technical leadership and the ability to communicate complex signalling and traffic management concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences. Candidates with purely desk-based design experience and limited stakeholder exposure are unlikely to be suitable.
You'll be developing - Traffic Management System

* Traffic Management System provides the Human Machine Interface for the Signaller.

* Controls and regulates the efficient movement of trains throughout the HS2 Network.

* It also provides a single source of truth of the Current Train Plan (timetable) to other HS2 and external systems (eg Network Rail, Customer information systems, Train Operators…).

Key Responsibilities

* Engage and manage a wide range of stakeholders including:
Other Rail Systems packages – interlocking, train detection, ATO
Operations and end users – signallers, control system operators
Ergonomics and Safety Assurance teams
Network Rail and external regulators

* Provide technical assurance of Traffic Management System (TMS) deliverables and activities

* Work closely with other CCS system leads to develop an integrated CCS solution (ETCS, ATO, interlocking, train detection, etc.)

* Develop, manage and monitor compliance with contract requirements, specifications and standards

* Help develop the Traffic management System with Siemens, assist in problem solving and developing solutions.

* Contribute to the identification and management of technical risk associated with TMS engineering works

* Provide authoritative technical advice on TMS to the wider HS2 organisation, suppliers and external stakeholders

* Communicate effectively with engineers, project managers, directors, regulators and operators
Required Profile
Overview
You will be a Signalling Control System Engineer with a strong Traffic Management focus, acting as a Traffic Management Subject Matter Expert.
Experience may come from a contractor/manufacturer, client or consultancy background.
While early-stage design experience is valuable, HS2 is particularly interested in candidates who have been involved in detailed design, testing and commissioning, and therefore understand operational end-requirements.
You must have a working appreciation of wider CCS subsystems (e.g. interlocking, train detection, ETCS), sufficient to manage interfaces and system integration.
Key Skills

* Specialist technical leadership in Traffic Management Systems (TMS)

* Ability to operate as a Discipline Owner / Subject Matter Expert for TMS

* Strong stakeholder communication skills, translating complex TMS concepts into clear, practical explanations across technical and non technical audiences.

* Application of standards, safety and environmental principles across the CCS lifecycle

* Understanding of information management, modelling, data security and cyber security principles

* Awareness of data creation, transformation and…
