• Coordinate with Systems Lead, Interface Manager, and Integration Manager to ensure consistent requirement flow down to subsystems (Rolling Stock, Signaling/TSP, OCS/TPSS, Telecom/SCADA, Fare System, OMSF).
• Facilitate requirements capture workshops with stakeholders to translate operational needs into technical and functional specifications.
• Govern configuration control and change management for requirements baselines in coordination with the Configuration Manager.
• Monitor contractor compliance with requirements and verification plans; track status and deviations.
• Review and approve requirements management deliverables from design consultants and contractors.
• Ensure verification and validation (V&V) activities are linked to requirements and that all evidence is properly documented and auditable.
• Support the Safety and RAMS teams in tracing safety and performance requirements through the Safety Case and certification process.
• Develop dashboards and reporting mechanisms to track requirement completion, V&V status, and compliance performance.
• Provide training and mentorship to PMC and client teams on requirements management processes and tool usage.
• Lead readiness reviews, audits, and regulatory submissions to demonstrate compliance and system assurance.
• Coordinate with Integration and Testing teams to ensure validation test cases fully satisfy operational requirements.
• Maintain a controlled database of all project requirements and verification evidence.
