About the Role
We’re supporting a specialist rail design consultancy in their search for a Senior Civil Design Engineer / CRE to join their expanding design team in London. This role is ideal for an experienced civil engineer with a solid technical background, strong design delivery skills, and a hands-on approach to engineering.

You’ll take the lead on civil design elements within multi-disciplinary rail projects, collaborating closely with E&P, LV, and HV engineering teams to produce practical, compliant, and buildable design solutions.

This is a genuinely varied position that combines design production, technical assurance, and regular site engagement — perfect for someone who enjoys seeing their designs through from concept to delivery.

Key Responsibilities:

      * 

        Cable management and interface details

      * 

        Minor drainage and access provisions

  * 

    Produce and review temporary works designs to support construction sequencing and access.

  * 

    Ensure civil designs integrate effectively with E&P layouts, containment systems, and cable routing.

  * 

    Lead design reviews and manage compliance with Network Rail and internal assurance procedures.

  * 

    Support project delivery through to handback, maintaining design integrity throughout construction.

Skills and Experience:

  * 

    Proven experience as a Civil CRE or Senior Civil Engineer on Network Rail infrastructure projects.

  * 

    Demonstrable experience designing UTXs, URXs, and buried cable routes.

  * 

    Strong technical understanding of E&P-related civils, including foundations and cable management systems.

  * 

    Competent in MicroStation (2D and 3D) and Tekla Tedds for design calculations.

  * 

    Experience producing or checking temporary works designs.

  * 

    Good knowledge of Network Rail standards and CDM Regulations.

  * 

    Practical approach with an understanding of constructability and on-site delivery.

  * 

    Excellent communication and coordination skills across multidisciplinary teams.

  * 

    Full UK driving licence and flexibility to travel for site visits.

Desirable:

  * 

    BEng/BSc in Civil or Structural Engineering

  * 

    Chartered or working towards CEng status (ICE preferred)

  * 

    PTS certification

  * 

    Experience using ProjectWise and Network Rail assurance systems

What’s on Offer:

  * 

    Salary: £50,000 – £70,000 (DOE)
