Job Description
Department Description

Network Rail is at the heart of revitalising Britain’s railways. Over the next five years, we intend to invest £34.6 billion on improving and developing the rail network. From multi-million pound schemes, such as the rejuvenation of King’s Cross station and the upgrade and expansion of Thameslink, to Europe’s largest civil engineering project - Crossrail, we are involved in some of the most ambitious and diverse ventures the UK has ever seen. Working with us you’ll benefit from state-of-the-art training and a second-to-none support network, all in a company with an annual turnover that equals those within the top 5 of the FTSE 100.

The IP Enhancements portfolio of work has been growing steadily for the last 4 years and is helping to change the capability of the railway with a wide range of schemes. With secure funding for the next 5 years we are facing the challenge of ensuring that the enhancements are cost effective and meet the outputs of a varied group of stakeholders. The projects include major remodelling schemes, performance and capability improvements and schemes that develop the local railways.
