Salary: Competitive basic, with excellent company benefits including competitive pension scheme and private healthcare

IKOS Consulting UK is a dynamic and growing engineering company. Our vision is to be recognised and respected globally as the rail engineering consultancy of choice – a positive choice for our clients as well as for our staff and associates. Through the daily application of our core values – respect, excellence, passion, doing the right thing and we care – our goal is to delight our customers by giving excellent service, whilst providing a stimulating and rewarding working environment for our engineers to thrive in.

To support our growth, IKOS Consulting UK is seeking to recruit talented Rolling Stock Mechanical Engineers.

The Role

As part of the Rolling Stock team, you will become involved in a wide variety of projects. These could be small problem-solving projects or feasibility studies, maintenance extensions, through to full systems integration projects.

As you might expect, the Rolling Stock team is not only involved in passenger rolling stock. We also undertake projects on locomotives as well as On-track Machines and engineering vehicles.

Not all the tasks will be purely mechanical which is why you will have a broad knowledge of Rolling Stock and able to take control of projects and tasks with limited supervision. You will have good interpersonal skills and able to easily communicate with your colleagues and be comfortable liaising and communicating with our clients.

You will not only be responsible for the technical delivery of projects, but you will be comfortable managing budgets, programmes and looking after the commercial side of projects. You may also be required to manage a small team in the course of the project delivery.

The role is hybrid, however a flexible mindset is essential. You may be required to work on-site at our client’s premises for a period of time, as well as in our Derby office or other locations as the job dictates.

Essential Requirements

• Engineering Degree (BEng or MEng) or equivalent preferred
• Proven background in Rolling Stock Engineering and project delivery
• Experience of applying professional engineering judgement to support engineering projects
• Experience of carrying out technical document review and analysis
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

An IKOS engineer is one who combines excellent technical skills with a commitment to deliver first class service to our clients, whilst living the values and culture of the business – integrity, respect, excellence, passion and care.
