CAF is currently delivering a number of mainline and metro projects in the UK with future orders in the pipeline. Each of these projects will be authorised into service by the Office of Rail and Road, in accordance with the Railway Interoperability Regulations 2011 or via the railway undertakings own assurance and approvals processes.

The Approvals Project Manager will be responsible for the delivery of technical submissions to the Certification Bodies and Network Rail to ensure on time delivery, testing and entry into service of the vehicles.
