Track Alignment (Design) Lead
An exciting opportunity is available for an experienced Track Alignment (Design) Lead to provide technical leadership across the development and delivery of railway track alignment designs. You will be responsible for producing safe, efficient and buildable solutions, while ensuring that designs comply with relevant standards, project requirements and assurance processes.
Working with multidisciplinary engineering teams, contractors and project stakeholders, you will lead alignment design activities from early feasibility through to detailed design and construction support. The role requires strong technical judgement, effective communication and the ability to manage competing priorities within complex infrastructure projects.
Key responsibilities
- Lead the preparation, review and approval of horizontal and vertical track alignment designs.
- Develop design solutions that consider safety, constructability, railway operations, maintenance and whole-life performance.
- Coordinate alignment interfaces with civils, structures, drainage, signalling, electrification, stations and other railway systems.
- Provide technical guidance to engineers and designers, supporting quality and consistency across project deliverables.
- Review design outputs, calculations, drawings, models and technical reports to ensure compliance with applicable standards.
- Identify design risks, constraints and opportunities, and contribute to mitigation and value-engineering proposals.
- Support design reviews, technical meetings, site activities and responses to construction queries.
- Contribute to planning, estimating, progress reporting and the management of design resources.
About you
You will have substantial experience in railway track alignment design, ideally gained on major rail, metro or high-speed infrastructure projects. A strong understanding of relevant railway standards, geometric design principles and design assurance requirements is essential.
You should be confident using industry-standard alignment design and modelling software, with the ability to interpret survey information and coordinate multidisciplinary data. Professional registration, or a clear commitment towards achieving it, would be advantageous.
We are looking for a collaborative and proactive professional who can influence stakeholders, communicate complex technical matters clearly and maintain high standards of safety, quality and delivery.
