About the Role
Join Ferrovial, a global leader in infrastructure, where innovation meets opportunity. As a Structures Design Engineer & Civil Designs Interface, you will support the coordination and integration of interfaces between civil structures such as 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 that interfaces are understood, coordinated, and integrated effectively.

Your responsibilities will include developing an understanding of structural and geotechnical behaviour, including 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 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, attend and chair meetings related to track design during design and construction phases, and provide technical support for mitigation. Supporting the client in identifying changes, risks, and opportunities, you will strive for efficiencies and cost savings. Additionally, you will assist in optimization studies and coordinate with commercial, planning, design delivery teams, and construction teams to manage track-related issues.

Other key duties include providing technical input for commercial contract administration, closing out track slab issues timely, working with instrumentation and monitoring teams, reviewing monitoring reports, and supporting progressive technical assurance during design, construction, and handover processes.

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.

Experience
- Degree-qualified in Civil Engineering or a 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 and 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 Interface Control Documents (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 strong communication skills
- Organised and detail-oriented with the ability to track multiple interfaces and actions
- Basic awareness of BIM and 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 it, is desirable
