Rail Systems Coordinator

About The Role

At EKFB, we’re shaping infrastructure for a better tomorrow. All four of our partners – Eiffage, Kier, Ferrovial and BAM – bring specialist expertise in the design, construction, operation, financing and maintenance of railway networks, including the construction of one of Europe’s latest high speed rail projects.

We’re looking for a Rail Systems Coordinator to join our Routewide team based in Milton Keynes.

In this role, you will lead stakeholder interfaces for Rail Systems and National Technical Specification Notices (NTSN) including chairing key meetings such as integration and design reviews. You will produce comprehensive meeting minutes capturing decisions and agreements in contractual and technical terms.

You will be maintaining and managing action trackers and issue logs, ensuring timely resolution and evidence‑based closeout.

Part of this role is to collaborate effectively with the client team while advocating for best‑for‑project outcomes and to liaise with design, construction, and assurance teams to address Rail Systems and NTSN concerns. You will draft and manage technical queries and contractual communications, with a working knowledge of early warnings, general communications, and change events.

You will support the Rail Systems Discipline Lead in production and maintenance of interface management plans, ensuring assurance processes are followed and client comments are resolved. You will review short‑notice construction changes, assess Rail Systems and NTSN impacts, and coordinate resolutions with stakeholders.

In addition, you will oversee the development of interface control documents during design stage close out, ensuring client buy‑in and tracking items for construction‑stage development and also coordinate and support approval body reviews for NTSN.
