About the Role
Join Ferrovial: Where Innovation Meets Opportunity. Are you ready to elevate your career with a global leader in infrastructure solving complex problems and generating positive outcomes on people’s lives? At Ferrovial, we are not just a company; we are a community of innovators and trailblazers. Listed on Nasdaq (US), Euronext Amsterdam (Netherlands), and IBEX 35 (Spain), and members of the Dow Jones Sustainability Index and FTSE4Good, we operate in more than 15 countries with over 24,000 professionals worldwide across Highways, Airports, Construction, and Energy.

Ferrovial Construction is internationally recognized for designing and building civil engineering and construction projects, mainly in large transportation infrastructure. Our track record includes over 304 miles of tunnels, 11,930 miles of roads (including 2,485 miles of highways), 2,920 miles of railroad lines (including 434 miles of high-speed railroads), and 16,994 miles of road maintenance and repair.

As a Structures Design Engineer & Civil Designs Interface, you will support the coordination and integration of interfaces between civil structures (viaducts, bridges, tunnels, and earthworks) and the Standard Slab Track system. Working closely with the Civils Design Integration Lead and wider design teams, you will ensure interfaces are understood, coordinated, and integrated with the slab track system.

Your responsibilities will include developing an understanding of structural and geotechnical behaviour such as movements of viaducts and bridges (temperature, long-term and transient effects), settlement and differential settlement impacts on track systems, expansion joints, bearings, articulation arrangements, and load transfer mechanisms between slab track and supporting structures. You will contribute to ensuring the slab track solution is coordinated, buildable, and aligned with project requirements.

You will liaise with consultants, subcontractors, and internal teams to resolve technical issues, work closely with the Designer to ensure timely, optimized design delivery in accordance with client requirements, and attend weekly meetings with construction, design teams, and clients. You will also support track design-related meetings during design and construction phases, provide technical support for mitigation, assist in identifying change, risk, and opportunities, and strive for efficiencies and cost savings.

Additional duties include studying optimization opportunities, liaising with commercial, planning, design delivery teams, supporting construction teams in managing track-related issues, providing technical input to commercial contract administration, closing out track slab issues promptly, collaborating with instrumentation and monitoring teams, reviewing monitoring reports and certificates, and supporting progressive technical assurance during design, construction, and handover.

Key responsibilities:
- Support coordination of interfaces between slab track and civil structures, ensuring clear information sharing between disciplines
- Review structural movements, tolerances, and interface details, identifying potential risks or constraints
- Work with designers to ensure compatibility between track and civil elements at key interfaces
- Participate in design reviews, coordination meetings, and engineering workshops
- Support preparation and maintenance of Interface Control Documents (ICDs) and interface registers
- Track interface issues and actions, supporting timely resolution
- Prepare meeting minutes, coordination notes, and technical summaries
- Identify opportunities to improve buildability, safety, quality, and efficiency at interfaces
- Support risk identification and reporting related to track–structure integration
- Ensure interface activities align with programme requirements and escalate issues as needed
- Promote health, safety, and environmental awareness in all aspects of the role
- Attend meetings in London and Birmingham with internal teams, partners, and clients as required

Experience
- Degree-qualified in Civil Engineering or related discipline
- Career experience in civil engineering, structures, geotechnics, or infrastructure
- Experience relevant to rail track on major construction projects, including design, modelling, or construction support is desirable
- Understanding of structural behaviour including movements and tolerances in bridges/viaducts
- Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and interface details

About you
- Interest in design coordination, interface management, and multidisciplinary working
- Familiarity or willingness to learn interface processes such as ICDs, risk registers, and change management
- Awareness of relevant standards (e.g. Eurocodes / UK standards); knowledge of HS2 standards is an advantage
- Collaborative team player with good communication skills
- Organised and detail-oriented with ability to track multiple interfaces and actions
- Basic awareness of BIM / 3D design tools and coordination processes
- Professional and proactive approach when working with designers, partners, and stakeholders

Qualifications
- Chartered Engineer (CEng) status with Railway Engineer Institute or ICE, or working towards this is desirable
