Job Description

Ensure that delivered OPPS ICS and Telecom solutions comply with both company RAMS requirements and contractual RAMS/Safety requirements throughout the project lifecycle.

• Leading and coordinating RAMS and System Assurance activities for major railway signaling and telecommunications projects in Cairo and Alexandria.
• Manage execution of RAMS activities through schedule control, critical-path monitoring, risk and opportunity management, and proactive follow-up of overdue actions, ensuring delivery within agreed scope, budget, and milestones.
• Enforce applicable company RAMS processes and ensure project compliance with approved RAM and Safety Plans, System Assurance processes, and project governance requirements.
• Lead and maintain applicable hazard identification, risk assessment, safety requirements, mitigation measures, residual risks, and hazard closure evidence for the assigned OPPS ICS and Telecom scope.
• Coordinate RAMS support during design, installation, integration, V&V, Factory/Site Acceptance Testing, Testing & Commissioning, trial operation, and operational acceptance, ensuring that identified RAMS requirements are implemented and demonstrated.
• Provide immediate RAMS support for site deviations, design modifications, test failures, temporary configurations, interface issues, and technical non-conformities, assessing their potential impact on RAM and Safety requirements.
• Strengthening FRACAS and reliability-growth activities for OPPS ICS and Telecom equipment by monitoring field failures, recurring defects, MTBF/MTTR performance and system availability, and by coordinating root-cause analyses and corrective/preventive actions with Engineering, Services, Maintenance, and Product teams.
• Ensure that recurring field failures are escalated to the appropriate OPPS ICS/Telecom Product teams when deeper product investigation, laboratory analysis, design improvement, firmware/software correction, component modification, or reliability improvement is required.
• Support maintainability and service-readiness activities, including preventive maintenance requirements, corrective maintenance strategy, spare-parts assumptions, repair/replacement philosophy, component lifetime, obsolescence considerations, and maintenance accessibility where applicable.
• Manage the RAMS interface with the Customer, Consultant, ISA approval authorities, and other external stakeholders, involving RAMS, Telecom, ICS, and Product experts as necessary.
• Coordinate responses to assessor and customer comments, establish clear action plans, assign responsibilities, and ensure timely closure of findings and approval comments to prevent impact on project milestones.
• Proactively identify and escalate technical, safety, RAM performance, resource, schedule, or interface risks that could affect OPPS ICS/Telecom delivery, commissioning, Safety Case completion, or final acceptance.
• Analyze EAC, ETC, and Actuals regularly, identify unplanned or out-of-scope RAMS activities, support justification of EAC variations, and forecast RAMS resource requirements according to project demand.
• Prepare and present the Project RAMS Management Dashboard, providing management with clear visibility of RAMS deliverables, document status, open hazards, assessor/customer comments, FRACAS issues, RAM demonstration status, overdue actions, technical safety KPIs, and key risks to commissioning and acceptance.
