We are seeking an experienced Track Design Lead to provide technical leadership across the development and delivery of rail infrastructure design projects. You will be responsible for leading multidisciplinary design activities from feasibility and concept through to detailed design, construction support and project close-out. The role will involve coordinating design inputs, managing interfaces and ensuring that solutions are safe, buildable, compliant and aligned with programme, budget and client requirements.
Key responsibilities will include developing and reviewing track alignment designs, layouts, profiles, renewals and associated civil engineering interfaces; preparing and approving technical documentation, drawings, specifications and design reports; and ensuring designs comply with relevant standards, legislation, assurance processes and engineering principles. You will lead design reviews, identify and manage technical risks, resolve issues and provide practical engineering advice to project teams, contractors and stakeholders. The role will also involve supervising and mentoring design engineers, allocating workloads, monitoring quality and progress, and contributing to estimates, tenders, construction planning and delivery strategies.
Applicants should have substantial experience in rail track design, with a strong understanding of permanent way principles, geometry, route compatibility, constructability and operational constraints. A relevant engineering qualification and professional registration, or demonstrable progress towards professional accreditation, are desirable. You should be confident using appropriate design and modelling software, interpreting technical data and applying railway standards in complex project environments. Strong communication, leadership and stakeholder-management skills are essential, along with the ability to make sound technical decisions under pressure. Experience of working within multidisciplinary teams, managing design assurance and delivering projects in a regulated rail environment would be highly advantageous.
