WORK EXPERIENCE
2013 – PRESENT ATKINS
August 2013 – Present Scheme Development Signalling Engineer
I work within the signalling schemes development team undertaking engineering management roles in a number of early
GRIP stage projects. I act as the signalling discipline lead, and Contractor’s Responsible Engineer, in these projects and I am
responsible for client liaison, technical delivery and assurance.
I am actively involved in the design process undertaking scheme feasibility, and work collaboratively with other disciplines to
guarantee a considered inter‐disciplinary solution. I proactively seek best practice and challenge remits and requirements to
ensure that the customer is receiving the optimal solution and what they really need in an approachable and customer
focused manner. I identify non conformities to standards and develop solutions to maximise operational benefit to the
system, preparing robust proposals for consideration.
I undertake work package management plans to ensure timely deliverables to budget. I feed into project management tools
and programmes. I prepare and secure scheme development bids.
I utilise all appropriate engineering management tools to ensure we are covering all appropriate options and to give an
auditable trail of decisions taken and outstanding actions. I manage the technical query process and respond to all requests
for information or client requests. I also manage all DRN (Document Review Note) submissions and actions. I coordinate
projects through the approvals process and have successfully negotiated Network Rail’s Major Scheme Plan Review.
I have acted as the Contractor’s Engineering Manager on a multi‐disciplinary project. The project was developed up to the
end of GRIP3 and received favourable responses from the client. I have been specifically identified by clients to prepare a
number of deliverables, notably the Operational Requirement Specifications for a number of projects.

 Developed new technique to analyse reliability of a railway system: Route FMECA (Failure Modes, Effects and
Consequence Analysis. This technique is now a standard deliverable for enhancement projects.
 Creating System Block Diagrams for the routes, aiding the identification of poor design configuration and potential
single point failures
 Managing workshops to identify appropriate work packages from the study outputs
 Managing internal resources and the interface with the client
 Optimising processes for Reliability studies through the development of new and innovative products and methods.
