Position Summary
This key role provides technical and management leadership of activities relating to the Power system design and implementation, ensures the Employer Requirements are met by the suppliers and that robust justifications and technical assurance can be produced in support of the product Safety Cases and eventual NEOM Project Safety Case.
This role provides technical oversight of activities relating to the Traction Power and Non-Traction Power design and implementation and ensures robust justifications and technical assurance can be produced in support of the Traction Power and E&P product Safety Cases and eventual NEOM Project Safety Case.
Job Duties
- Manage the Power Systems team and support the Rail Systems Director in leading the delivery of Rail Systems
- Coordinate with NEOM Projects and Sectors in the definition of Power systems requirements.
- Support the client to define the electrical system requirements and expectations, focusing on railway electrical requirements as opposed to building services.
- Technical oversight and management of all Traction Power and non-Traction Power relevant Engineering activities so that they result in affordable and meet Programme requirements in a safe and environmentally responsible manner for time, cost, and quality.
- Ensure that robust safety management process is undertaken within the BEC and subsequent design and delivery contractors and identify any risks in the design of the operational railway.
- Support the specification and review of functions and characteristics of the operational railway identifying the system hazards and system assurance which will need to be addressed.
- Attending BEC and the design and delivery contractors electrical HAZOPs, SAFOPs, Power System Design review, Traction Power System Simulation and Studies, IDCs/IDRs, etc., sessions with Executive Project Management Engineers in line with the NEOM Projects processes.
- Support the identification of risk and measures including system safety analysis associated with the above Studies and other safety risk assessments and ALARP justification.
- Support the preparation and implementation of system safety assurance documentation and requirements management processes.
- Integrates and coordinates with the various Engineering and Systems Engineering disciplines.

- Providing inputs into the common NEOM Projects risk register and participating in its regular review and during the life of the project.
- Support the System Assurance and Integration Manager in review of system assurance documentation to ensure the required Traction Power and E&P performance can be verified.
- Assist the System Assurance and Integration Manager with the review and acceptance of the design and delivery contractors Safety Cases for the elements, products and systems being delivered. The review and acceptance of the safety cases will take account of the safety argument and the safety evidence put forward incrementally, including supporting safety analyses and other supporting evidence/justifications.
- Support the NEOM Projects Independent Safety Assessor’s (ISA) review & coordinate the activities and the resolution and closure of observations raised.
- Understand a live operational construction environment with significant safety hazards including moving trains and 25kV Overhead Line Electrification.
- Ensuring Traction Power and E&P stage works considerations are addressed in the contractor's design.
- Ensuring required interface between Traction System power system, and Rail station power system network for grounding, traction power continuity and other critical areas.
- Undertaking reviews of contractor design submittals relating to Traction Power and E&P.
- Undertaking reviews as required of other contractor technical submittals (including task briefs and work package plans) relating to systems assurance.
- Undertaking reviews of contractor inspection and test plans relating to Traction Power and E&P.
