The Opportunity

Unlock Potential

Shape critical asset integrity decisions for railway rolling stock and infrastructure through senior-level expertise in nondestructive testing, materials engineering, and failure analysis. You will lead complex investigations, guide inspection strategies, and help clients turn technical evidence into risk-informed actions that protect people, performance, and long-term asset value.

Your Impact

  • Lead complex NDT, materials engineering, and failure investigations for critical railway components and systems.

  • Define risk-based inspection and testing strategies that strengthen condition-based maintenance and asset integrity programs.

  • Provide senior technical judgement on repair, replacement, monitoring, life extension, and fitness-for-service decisions.

  • Direct multidisciplinary assessments of fatigue, fracture, corrosion, wear, cracking, weld quality, and manufacturing defects.

  • Guide incident investigations and root cause analyses, developing defensible conclusions and practical corrective actions.

  • Advise clients on supplier qualification, manufacturing quality, technical specifications, and standards compliance.

  • Review and approve high-impact technical deliverables while communicating findings to clients and non-technical decision-makers.

  • Mentor engineers and specialists, strengthen technical practices, and contribute to proposals and client relationships.
