Are you a driven Project Engineer looking to take the next step within a fast-moving, well-structured rail environment? This position offers the opportunity to join a long-established contractor delivering a broad portfolio of rail, civils, and multi-disciplinary infrastructure works across London. With several new frameworks and upgrade packages commencing, the team is seeking a technically strong engineer who can bring energy, coordination skills, and a proactive approach to delivery.

You’ll play a central role in the day-to-day engineering management of live works, ensuring designs are correctly interpreted, standards are met, and construction activities progress safely and efficiently. This is a great fit for someone who enjoys hands-on involvement, problem-solving, and clear coordination between site teams, design consultants, and client representatives.

Key Responsibilities

    Support the planning, sequencing, and delivery of rail and civils works across ongoing project packages.

  * 

    Interpret design information, raise technical queries, and ensure accurate implementation on site.

  * 

    Coordinate with design teams, project managers, site supervisors, and client engineers to maintain clear communication and alignment.

  * 

    Ensure works comply with industry standards, safety requirements, and relevant project specifications.

  * 

    Assist in managing quality assurance processes, including ITPs, surveys, inspections, and handover documentation.

  * 

    Identify potential risks, interface issues, and value-engineering opportunities.

  * 

    Contribute to progress reporting, construction planning, and programme updates.

What We’re Looking For

  * 

    Proven experience as a Project Engineer within rail, infrastructure, or civils environments.

  * 

    Strong understanding of rail standards, safety protocols, and multi-disciplinary site coordination.

  * 

    Ability to read and interpret technical drawings with confidence.

  * 

    Excellent communication skills with a collaborative, solution-focused approach.

  * 

    A proactive mindset with the ability to manage multiple tasks in a live construction setting.

  * 

    Relevant engineering qualifications (HNC/HND/Degree or equivalent).

  * 

    Experience working on London Underground or Network Rail projects is highly desirable.

What’s on Offer

  * 

    Competitive salary and benefits package.

  * 

    Long-term development opportunities within a business known for internal progression.

  * 

    Exposure to a variety of rail and infrastructure projects across London.

  * 

    Supportive, structured engineering teams with strong technical leadership.

  * 

    The chance to contribute to meaningful upgrades and enhancements within the capital’s transport network.
