• Managing gauge and kinematic studies, including bogie-related activities

• Highlighting and mitigating risks associated with missing or uncertain inputs

• Managing layouts for coupling, pantographs, and curve inscriptions

• Driving weight allocations and associated key drivers during all development phases

• Organising and leading Gauge and Kinematic design reviews
