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 sectors.

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 effectively.

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 impacts on track systems, expansion joints, bearings, articulation arrangements, and load transfer mechanisms. You will contribute to ensuring the slab track solution is coordinated, buildable, and aligned with project requirements.

Key duties involve liaising with consultants, subcontractors, and internal teams to resolve technical issues, attending and chairing meetings related to track design, supporting client risk and opportunity identification, aiding optimization studies, and providing technical input to commercial contract administration. You will also work closely with instrumentation and monitoring teams and support progressive technical assurance during design, construction, and handover.

This role requires attendance at meetings in London and Birmingham with internal teams, partners, and clients as needed. You will promote health, safety, and environmental awareness in all aspects of your work.
