Design Manager - Rail
We are seeking an experienced Design Manager to lead the design delivery of complex rail projects from concept through to construction and completion. This is an opportunity to play a key role in shaping safe, efficient and buildable solutions across multidisciplinary rail infrastructure programmes, including stations, track, signalling, civils, structures, systems and associated works.
You will manage and coordinate design activities, ensuring that technical outputs are delivered to the required quality, programme and budget standards. Responsibilities will include developing design management plans, coordinating internal teams and specialist consultants, reviewing design deliverables, managing interfaces, and monitoring progress against key milestones. You will lead design reviews, identify and resolve technical issues, maintain design risk registers, and ensure that relevant standards, specifications, constructability requirements and assurance processes are applied throughout the project lifecycle. You will also work closely with project managers, commercial teams, construction leads, clients and supply-chain partners to support effective decision-making and successful project delivery.
The successful candidate will have proven experience in a design management role within the rail or wider transport infrastructure sector, together with a strong understanding of multidisciplinary design coordination and construction delivery. Experience of working within regulated environments and managing design consultants and contractors is highly desirable. You should be confident interpreting technical information, challenging proposals constructively and communicating with stakeholders at all levels. A relevant degree or professional qualification in engineering, construction or a related discipline is preferred, along with knowledge of design assurance, health and safety requirements, risk management and common industry standards. Strong organisational, leadership and problem-solving skills are essential, as is the ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced project environment.
