They will typically be making decisions at the level of a project or an area of activity. They will variously engage in technical and commercial management and possess effective inter-personal skills for dealing with customers, suppliers and colleagues. Usually, such a person will have fulfilled a ‘Responsible’ position in the railway signalling or railway telecommunications engineering field (or possibly in another engineering discipline) and will now be giving guidance to those in ‘Responsible’ positions.
