Position Type - Full Time
Engineer (Mechanical) - Road & Rail Traffic Control Systems
Salary: Payband 3 / Circa £54k + TfL Benefits (External Only)
Location: Acton / Various TfL
Contract type: TfL
Transport for London (TfL) Engineers are always looking forward. Join us in one of our Transport System Engineering teams where, as well as maintaining legacy assets, you’ll deliver new systems and solutions. There’s more to it than Tubes, roads, buildings and bridges; this is about connecting communities and creating opportunities – to move London forward safely, inclusively and sustainably.
TfL currently uses a wide range of mechanical, electronic and electrical systems to provide efficient, high-capacity control of traffic, both rail and road. Some of these systems and assets are becoming fatigued and life expired, requiring innovative and novel ideas to allow their continued, reliable use.
Day-to-day, you will work within the Equipment Engineering Services – Mechanical Engineering section of the team. You will develop safe, cost-effective engineering solutions across the organisation, as well as providing technical support to operations and projects that require specialist mechanical expertise. As a mechanical engineer within the team, your main focus will be supporting signalling equipment and systems used on London Underground.
The nature of the role involves technical analysis, reverse engineering, failure investigation, research and development, and design and approval of new equipment and systems. The majority of the hands-on work is conducted in Acton at the Railway Engineering Works, or the Hearne House lab/test facilities; however, there is also opportunity to work on site, including occasional night shifts. In Engineering Services, we are passionate about a good work life balance, and support flexible working. This also means that where work can be done at home, this is feasible.
Essential Skills, Knowledge & Experience
It’s important you bring a passion for the TfL Vision and strategy too. That’s because, wherever you join us, you’ll explore work of unparalleled scale, scope and variety across a unique range of projects, as you build your career and expertise. So come and bring on tomorrow, as an Engineering Services Engineer at TfL.
We are committed to equality, diversity and inclusion. We want to represent the city we serve, which will help us become a more innovative and efficient organisation.

We also use anonymising software that removes identifying information from CVs and cover letters to make the process fair. We welcome everyone to apply who feels that they are suitable for the role.
