  • System Integration Strategy & Planning: 📝 Develop the comprehensive Master Testing and Commissioning Plan (MTCP). This includes defining the T&C strategy, budget, schedule, and necessary resources for all railway subsystems (Signaling, Power, Rolling Stock, Telecoms, Track, etc.) and ensuring their successful technical and operational integration.
  • Lead System Integration Testing (SIT): 🔗 Direct the complex interface testing between major subsystems, such as validating the communication and functional response between the Signaling System (e.g., ETCS), the Rolling Stock (trains), and the Power Supply/Traction system.
  • Operational Readiness & Trial Run Management: Oversee all stages of trial and dynamic testing, including running trains at maximum projected speeds to validate ride quality, braking performance, and system stability under real-world conditions. This culminates in declaring the line ready for shadow operation.
  • Statutory Compliance and Safety Certification: Act as the primary technical point of contact for obtaining Statutory Clearances and Safety Certification from regulatory authorities (e.g., Commissioner of Railway Safety). This involves managing the preparation and submission of all critical safety dossiers and test reports.
  • Defect Management and Resolution: Establish and enforce a rigorous process for managing Non-Conformities (NCs) and defects found during T&C. The expert is responsible for tracking all open items to closure and verifying that corrective actions do not negatively impact other system interfaces.
  • Handover, Training, and Documentation: Lead the formal Handover Process to the Operations and Maintenance (O&M) team. This includes approving final system manuals, maintenance procedures, and ensuring the operational staff is fully trained and competent to safely run the railway.
