The role
Our Engineers play an important part within the Consulting Rail Design team and work alongside clients, including Network Rail. As a Civil Engineer, you will support the Senior Engineer in the design and delivery of a variety of rail schemes and guide junior staff to ensure high‑quality outcomes.
Responsibilities

* Assume the role of people manager when required by the business.
What you will bring to us
* Relevant experience in Rail engineering and the ability to work in a commercial, customer‑focused way that achieves programme performance targets and generates income.

* Good understanding of DMRB, other national standards and best‑practice guidance, local standards, and the CDM regulations relevant to Rail design.
* Ability to support the preparation of briefs for fee quotes for service delivery when required.
