Rail Jobs
Rail jobs range from infrastructure projects on large industrial complexes and railway station designs down to minor structure design projects. The mix of feasibility, outline and detailed design projects for structures, foundations and earthworks within the rail environment lends appeal to rail engineering jobs.

Part of your function will include the preparation of infrastructure design calculations, feasibility reports and design drawings for railway and industrial infrastructure projects as well as the quality, environment and safety elements.
You could also be undertaking projects of track form and alignment, bridges and tunnels, passenger stations, freight terminals, maintenance and support facilities, and embankments and cuttings.
Rail industry infrastructure and design experience
Academic requirements include a civil engineering degree or equivalent. You could be working towards CEng MICE or CEng MIStructE or towards Chartership. Experience of structures assessments and design (AutoCAD) within the rail industry and knowledge of infrastructure design projects using BS5950 and BS8110 are definite pluses. As well as technical requirements, you will need to have first rate client interface and communication skills.
