Verification & Validation Manager

The Verification and Validation (V&V) Manager is responsible for planning, coordinating, and executing all V&V activities to ensure that the integrated metro system—including civil, mechanical, electrical, meets all contractual, technical, operational, and safety requirements focusing on the deliverables of the Elevated Guideway and Stations scope. This role is critical for ensuring the delivery of a fully compliant and functional transit system aligned with relevant standards (e.g., EN 50126, EN 50128, EN 50129).

Based on existing material, develop, implement, and maintain the Project Verification & Validation Plan in line with applicable system engineering standards and contractual requirements.

Establish and manage the Requirements Traceability & Verification and Validation Matrix (RTVM) to ensure full traceability between requirements, design, implementation, test procedures and results.

Ensure that the RTVM fully covers V&V matters relevant for RAMSS approvals.

Coordinate with design, testing, commissioning, quality, and safety teams to validate that systems and subsystems meet performance, interface, and compliance targets.

Oversee Design Verification, Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), Site Acceptance Testing (SAT), Integration Testing, and Final System Validation as required per the contract (where applicable).

Participate in technical reviews, risk assessments, and design verification meetings

with internal and external stakeholders.

Ensure that all verification and validation evidence (e.g., test results, simulations, reviews) is properly documented and stored for audit and handover purposes.

Interface with the System Engineering Manager and System Integration Manager to ensure consistency and integration of V&V activities across all project phases.

Identify and mitigate V&V-related risks, non-conformities, and dependencies.

Prepare regular reports and dashboards on the status of V&V activities for project leadership and clients.

Ensure compliance with international railway standards and safety-critical system

development processes (e.g., CENELEC, ISO/IEC 15288)

Work Conditions:

Office-based with frequent site visits to supervise construction interfaces, inspections

and tests.
