Overview of Role

TfL Engineers are always looking forward. Join us in the Vehicles Engineering team as an engineerandas well as ensuring legacy assets are maintained to safe and reliable standards and delivering new systems and solutions. There’s more to it than trains, trams and buses: this is about connecting communities and creating opportunities, so our people and our assets are ready for the rest of the 21st century and beyond.

Working in Vehicles Engineering Technical Services as part of the Automated Track Monitoring Systems (ATMS) Maintenance team you will be carrying out the practical day to day maintenance of remote track monitoring systems to ensure the systems are safe and working to achieve the wider business function of LUL Track Inspection Compliance.

The focus will be on laser based Automatic Track Monitoring Systems (ATMS) permanently fitted to LUL Bakerloo, Victoria and SSL passenger trains and LUL`s dedicated Track Recording Engineers Train.

• Ensure equipment repairs are managed promptly and effectively, prioritising conflicting work streams to minimise loss of track inspection date to our stakeholders.
• Support and carry out root cause analysis of issues and provide engineering solutions to engineering and obsolescence issues in relation to the bespoke & specialised instrumentation and track inspection, noise/vibration and audio-visual monitoring systems maintained.
• Communicate with a wide range of…
