Systems Integration Lead - Light Rail Transit (Testing & Commissioning)
Location: Western Canada
Contract Type: Fixed-Term / Project-Based (18 months)

We are supporting a major rail delivery organisation on a large-scale light rail transit programme in Western Canada. This role will play a critical part in the testing, commissioning, and integration of complex rail systems across a multi-disciplinary environment.

The successful candidate will lead Systems Integration Testing (SIT) activities, ensuring all subsystems and interfaces are validated, aligned, and delivered in line with operational and safety requirements.

Key Responsibilities

Lead the development, coordination, and execution of Systems Integration Testing (SIT) procedures across multiple rail subsystemsDefine and implement dynamic testing strategies covering staged construction and commissioning phasesReview system requirements, interface control documents (ICDs), and design packages to establish robust validation methodologiesWork closely with design, construction, and T&C teams to align subsystem testing with project phasing and readinessDevelop and manage test prerequisites, ensuring site readiness for major testing milestonesOversee configuration management and maintain up-to-date system state documentation throughout the programme lifecycleSupport the definition and execution of performance demonstration criteriaLead on-site testing activities, driving coordination, readiness, and issue resolution during commissioningEnsure testing covers key operational scenarios, including:Line-of-sight and braking performanceHeadways and operational speedsAcceleration and deceleration under varying load conditionsReliability, Availability, Maintainability and Safety (RAMS) validationDegraded mode and failure scenarios across signalling, power, and communications systemsMulti-vehicle operations, recovery, and rescue scenarios

Requirements

Degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline (or equivalent experience)Proven experience in systems integration, testing, and commissioning within major rail or infrastructure projectsStrong technical knowledge of at least one core rail system (e.g. signalling, communications, traction power, SCADA, track systems)Experience working on complex, multidisciplinary projects with significant interface management challengesDemonstrated ability to develop and implement structured testing strategies across staged construction environmentsExcellent stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to coordinate across design, construction, and operations teamsProfessional Engineering (P.Eng) accreditation or ability to obtain is highly desirableWillingness to work on-site in a live construction and commissioning environment
