Key responsibilities will include leading the development and review of civil and structural designs for rail assets, including structures, earthworks, drainage, platforms, retaining systems and associated infrastructure. You will provide technical assurance, oversee design risk management, contribute to design reviews and approvals, and ensure compliance with relevant standards, specifications and regulatory requirements.

Excellent communication, organisation and problem-solving skills are essential, alongside the ability to build effective relationships with clients and delivery partners. A proactive approach, commercial awareness and a commitment to quality are also required. The role may involve travel to project and site locations, with occasional out-of-hours or weekend work to support operational railway activities.
