• Collaborating with engineering, maintenance, asset management, and operations teams to align waiver and type approval requirements
• Supporting risk mitigation activities by working closely with safety teams to ensure risks are controlled SFAIRP
• Leading applications for type approval, ensuring documentation and evidence meet regulatory requirements
• Contributing to the development and continuous improvement of organisational standards, policies, and processes
• Preparing periodic reports and dashboards on waiver and type approval activities, highlighting trends, risks, and compliance performance
• Monitoring active approvals to ensure timely renewals or updates
• Maintaining comprehensive documentation, including waiver requests, type approval submissions, risk assessments, and regulator correspondence
• Conducting audits and reviews to ensure documentation is up to date and accessible

About You:

You will bring a strong background in engineering, operations, or safety assurance, with a proven ability to manage waiver and type approval processes in a regulated environment. You thrive on detail, can navigate complex technical and regulatory frameworks, and enjoy working with cross-functional teams to deliver safe and compliant outcomes. Key experience and attributes include:

• Minimum 5 years' experience in engineering, operations, or safety assurance, ideally in rail, infrastructure, or O&M sectors
• Hands-on experience managing waivers, type approvals, or similar regulatory compliance processes
• Solid understanding of technical standards, safety assurance, and regulatory frameworks (e.g., EN 50126/50129, Rail Safety National Law, ISO 9001)
• Familiarity with asset management, maintenance practices, and operational requirements in O&M environments
• Experience managing documentation across the full project lifecycle
• Strong stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to work effectively with contractors, clients, regulators, and internal teams
