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.

Brief Vacancy Description

The IP Enhancements team in Birmingham is seeking an experienced Project Engineer Track to join the multidisciplinary engineering team. The successful candidate will review and comment on feasibility studies, scheme designs and detailed design on behalf of Network Rail for track works (plain line and S&C), be responsible for ensuring compliance with legislation and track engineering standards and procedures for design and construction. The Project Engineer will also provide engineering advice to the Designated Project Engineer on track engineering issues, design and construction activities and site supervision. You will be required to manage the track engineering approvals process, respond to technical queries and review high risk work plans. In addition you will be required to liaise with external contractors including Designers and internal Development and Project Managers. You will also undertake the role of Designated Project Engineer on some projects. The Project Engineer will have to ensure that the all designs can be safely constructed and that all site work is undertaken safely on site.

The successful candidate will have significant experience both in design and construction of track engineering infrastructure, preferably within multidisciplinary projects in the railway environment. A technical qualification to HNC/HND or GNVQ level in civil or structural engineering is essential. Membership of a relevant professional institution would be considered an advantage as would an appreciation of environmental issues in engineering works. The successful candidate will support both the Birmingham and Swindon Programmes of work and will be required to travel regularly and stay overnight on occasion.
