Identify discrepancies, deficiencies, or non-conforming work, and issue clear directives for corrective actions.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Rail & Transit Specialization:<\/strong> Apply deep domain expertise to oversee mechanical systems for rail projects, addressing unique challenges such as ventilation for tunnels and below-grade stations, smoke extraction systems, platform pressurization, and the specific environmental control needs of rail operations and equipment rooms.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Construction Support & Issue Resolution:<\/strong> Serve as the primary mechanical point of contact during construction. Review and respond to Requests for Information (RFIs) and troubleshoot complex field issues, providing practical solutions that maintain design integrity without delaying project timelines.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Technical Leadership:<\/strong> Serve as the technical authority on mechanical engineering, resolving complex engineering challenges and performing peer reviews of design calculations, drawings, and specifications.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Client & Stakeholder Communication:<\/strong> Attend client meetings to present mechanical designs, explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders, and manage client expectations regarding system performance and cost.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Education:<\/strong> Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering (master’s degree preferred).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Licensure:<\/strong> Professional Engineer (PE) license is required.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Experience:<\/strong> 8-10 years<\/strong> of progressive experience in MEP consulting engineering or a design-build firm, specifically focused on building systems.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Rail Experience:<\/strong> Demonstrated and significant experience working on rail or transit projects<\/strong> (e.g., commuter rail, light rail, subway, or high-speed rail stations and facilities).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Systra is an equal opportunities company; this position is open to all applicants.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n On-site<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" SYSTRA is one of the world’s leading engineering and consultancy groups specialising in public transport and sustainable mobility.
