Transport for London (TfL) is looking for an experienced Systems Performance Engineer to join our Systems Performance & Integration team to help shape the future of TfL’s assets and infrastructure across a diverse portfolio of projects and modes of transportation.
You will have the ability to analyse and visualise complex data, draw conclusions and produce reports.
