Description

We are recruiting for a Lead Portfolio Manager within the Industry Partnership for Digital Railway (IPDR), supporting the Passenger ETCS Deployment Programme.

The role will focus on establishing and overseeing the delivery of projects to implement ETCS onboard fitment as part of the National Passenger train fleet programme. This includes implementing the agreed strategy, establishing and overseeing the projects needed to fit or upgrade passenger trains with ETCS.

Operating within a national portfolio environment, the role requires alignment between fleet strategy, operator readiness, deployment triggers and staged governance approvals.

IPDR is a founding and central part of GBRX, leading the national migration to European Train Control System (ETCS) digital train control technology. As the railway transitions toward a Great British Railways operating model, IPDR is helping to shape the standards, operating assumptions and cross-industry approaches that will define how ETCS is deployed and managed at scale.
