Working closely with our Head of Engineering, as a Rolling Stock Engineer you will play a key role in the inspection, maintenance, repair and preparation of locomotives and rolling stock for both UK and overseas operations.

This isn't your typical depot‑based engineering role. One week you could be working on our fleet in Norfolk; the next, supporting a client overseas as they introduce newly commissioned rolling stock into service. If you enjoy variety, responsibility and seeing the real‑world impact of your work, we'd love to hear from you.

• Inspecting, maintaining and repairing locomotives and rolling stock
• Preparing vehicles for export to international customers
• Supporting overseas commissioning projects
• Working alongside client driver and maintenance teams
• Providing technical expertise across a range of rolling stock projects
• Assisting with the continued development of ROMIC's engineering capability

To be successful in your application, ideally you will have:

• Proven experience with Class 43 HST power cars
• Strong knowledge of Mk3 coaching stock
• A practical, hands‑on engineering background
• Willingness to travel within the UK and internationally

We are a family‑run railway business with a global reach and a reputation for delivering complex rolling stock projects. We combine commercial expertise with practical railway engineering knowledge, giving our team the opportunity to work on unique projects that few companies can offer. From HST exports and fleet refurbishment programmes to international commissioning and technical support, no two projects are ever quite the same.

Wallace Hind Selection, alongside our client embrace diversity, champion equality, and foster inclusion to create a work environment where everyone belongs and thrives.
