Lead Track Engineer and Team Leader

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced rail professional to lead the delivery of track engineering activities across a varied portfolio of maintenance, renewal and enhancement projects. This role combines technical leadership with people management, requiring a confident decision-maker who can promote high standards of safety, quality and performance.

You will provide expert engineering guidance throughout the project lifecycle, from early design and planning through to construction, testing and handover. Working closely with internal teams, contractors, designers and operational stakeholders, you will ensure that solutions are compliant, practical and delivered efficiently.

Key responsibilities

  • Lead and manage a team of track engineers, supporting professional development, performance and effective resource planning.
  • Act as the principal technical authority for track engineering matters, providing advice on permanent way design, construction, maintenance and renewals.
  • Review and approve technical documentation, specifications, risk assessments, method statements and engineering submissions.
  • Ensure all work complies with relevant standards, regulations, assurance processes and safe system requirements.
  • Coordinate engineering activities across multidisciplinary projects, managing interfaces with signalling, civils, structures, electrification and operations teams.
  • Monitor progress, costs, quality and technical risks, taking corrective action where required.
  • Support investigations into defects, incidents and non-conformances, implementing robust solutions and lessons learned.
  • Build strong relationships with clients, suppliers, contractors and project stakeholders.

About you

You will have substantial experience in track engineering, ideally within a mainline railway, metro or other complex transport environment. A relevant engineering qualification and professional registration, or demonstrable progress towards registration, are expected. You should possess strong knowledge of track construction, maintenance and renewal practices, together with a sound understanding of engineering assurance and safety legislation.

Excellent communication and leadership skills are essential, as is the ability to manage competing priorities and make well-informed decisions under pressure. A collaborative approach, commercial awareness and a commitment to continuous improvement will be highly valued. The role may involve travel to project sites and occasional out-of-hours work.
