Overview
This exciting opportunity will provide co-ordination and management of multi-disciplinary engineering teams, whilst being the single point of contact for engineering-led initiatives within the London Underground Maintenance Modernisation programme.  This will enable London Underground Asset Operations to achieve business efficiencies across their LU One AO Program, Supplier Partnership Program, Integrated Asset Planning and Procurement Activities.

These opportunities include changing maintenance regimes/requirements, changing engineering requirements through standards and technical specifications and optimising the purchase of parts/services/materials and improving maintenance decision making using information and new technologies within LU.
