Rail systems engineers provide insight and technical engineering expertise in regards to railway projects.
Salaries typically range depending on location and level of responsibility. Salaries and career options improve with chartered status.
Usually, a BSc Honours Degree in an engineering field in England; the equivalent L6 NVQ / HNC in Wales, or the Scottish equivalent, will most likely be required. Some positions will require an engineering Masters Degree as well, or chartered status with a relevant engineering body.
However, experience is often very important too, so entrants with other qualifications might be considered.
