We are now recruiting for a Slab track – civils Design Integration Lead to join the HS2 Track infrastructure project at the initial design phase, which will run concurrently with the completion of main works contracts, which are now at their peak. We are now developing the track design team, which will interface with Main Works Civils and Stations Contracts to manage any interfaces and resolve any potential issues for the track design integration, such as earthworks, tunnels, and viaducts. The role will be based out of the project office in Euston, London.
Job Responsibility:
Lead and manage all design interfaces between viaducts, structures, tunnels, earthworks and the Standard Track System
Establish and promote best practice in health, safety, sustainability, cost, time, buildability and quality across the track–civils interface
Lead the integration of Standard Slab Track with civil structures
Evaluate structural movements, deflections, rotations and restraint conditions and assess their impact on slab track performance
Provide site-informed engineering judgement to optimise detailing, buildability, and sequencing at interfaces between structures and track
Coordinate and manage design interfaces with internal and external designers
Input into engineering workshops, design reviews and integration or technical steering groups
Manage the Interface Control Documents (ICDs) and maintain clear, auditable records
Lead or support the resolution of interfaces
Prepare minutes, notes and technical reports to ensure transparent communication and accurate documentation
Identify opportunities to improve design by incorporating buildability, quality, safety and value optimisation
Support risk identification, mitigation and reporting relating to structural–track integration
Ensure all interface activities are managed in line with programme and escalate issues proactively where needed
Maintain and promote awareness of SHE hazards and demonstrate active commitment to minimise associated risks
Requirements:
Strong leadership and management skills, with a positive and collaborative approach
Enthusiastic team player, able to listen, understand, engage and motivate, and with confidence to make decisions when required
Solid technical understanding of structural engineering principles, including evaluation of movements/deflections in bridges and viaducts
Degree-qualified in Civil Engineering or equivalent
Chartered or approaching Chartered status preferred
Experience in structures, geotechnics, civils or infrastructure, ideally within a Rail environment
Degree qualification in civil engineering or equivalent
Ability to interpret structural drawings, details, movement envelopes, tolerances and to understand their implications for track slab alignment and system constraints
Familiarity with interface management, technical assurance processes, and formal workflows for design coordination (ICDs, risk registers, change management, requirements traceability)
Understanding of design procedures, British/Eurocode standards, and (preferably) HS2-specific standards and processes
Knowledge of design procedures and standards
Preferably knowledge of HS2 processes and standards
Ability to work in a collaborative multidisciplinary team environment
A good commercial understanding of contracts, procurement routes and risk management
Strong appreciation for 3D design and BIM and digital engineering, with the ability to use model reviews to identify clashes and integration risks
Excellent communication—both interpersonal and formal reporting—able to challenge constructively and influence decision-making
Professional approach with clients, designers, JV partners, subcontractors and suppliers
Nice to have:
Chartered or approaching Chartered status preferred
Ideally within a Rail environment
Preferably knowledge of HS2 processes and standards
