Job Description
Engineering Manager DPE
Location: London-based, with projects across the Eastern region
Start Date: February / March 2026
I'm looking to speak with experienced Engineering Managers / Designated Project Engineers (DPEs) ahead of a large, long-term rail and infrastructure improvement programme due to commence in early 2026.
The programme covers a portfolio of renewal and enhancement schemes across the Eastern region, including civils, structures, stations, and M&E works. Projects will vary in scope from bridge reconstructions and platform upgrades through to drainage, embankment stabilisation, and building refurbishments - each delivered within a live operational rail environment.
The Engineering Manager / DPE will provide technical leadership and assurance across these works, ensuring design integration, safety, and compliance throughout all stages of project delivery. You'll be involved from early design through to construction, handover, and close-out, supporting multiple workbanks and interfacing with internal teams, consultants, and client representatives.
Key Responsibilities:
Manage the full engineering lifecycle across multiple work packages
Oversee technical assurance, design governance, and CDM compliance
Review and coordinate multi-disciplinary designs for buildability and safety
Provide technical support to project and site teams through delivery
Lead interface management across civils, structures, and M&E disciplines
Represent the project at assurance reviews and stakeholder meetingsRequirements:
Background in civil engineering with experience on major infrastructure or rail projects
Understanding of DPE duties and engineering assurance processes
Strong coordination experience across design and construction teams
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skillsThis position is not required until February / March 2026, but I'm starting early conversations with senior engineers and technical leaders who may be open to exploring opportunities ahead of that timeframe.
