We are now recruiting for a Slab track – Civils design integration lead to join the HS2 Track infrastructure project at the initial design phase which will run concurrently with the completion of main works contracts, which are now at their peak. We are now developing the track design team which will interface with Main Works Civils and Stations Contracts to manage any interfaces and resolve any potential issues for the track design integration such as earthworks, tunnels and viaducts.

Reports to: Design Delivery Director (Standard Slab track)

Department: Engineering/Design

Your mission

As a Slab track – Civils design integration lead, you will lead and manage all design interfaces between viaducts, structures, tunnels, earthworks and the Standard Track System, ensuring that the slab track solution is fully integrated, buildable, and meets all requirements for structural behaviour, movements, durability and long‑term performance. This role places a strong emphasis on the ability to interpret and assess structural behaviour, as well as understanding of geotechnical behaviour, including:

• Movements of viaducts/bridges, including long‑term, temperature‑driven and transient effects.
• Settlements / differential settlements and their impact on the slab track system.
• Expansion joints, bearings and articulation details affecting track behaviour.
• Overall load transfer mechanism between the slab track system and the railway platform.

Key responsibilities

• Establish and promote best practice in health, safety, sustainability, cost, time, buildability and quality across the track–civils interface.
• Lead the integration of Standard Slab Track with civil structures (viaducts, bridges, retaining structures, tunnels, earthworks), ensuring technical compatibility and early identification of constraints.
• Evaluate structural movements, deflections, rotations and restraint conditions and assess their impact on slab track performance, system tolerances and construction feasibility.
• Provide site‑informed engineering judgement to optimise detailing, buildability, and sequencing at interfaces between structures and track.
• Coordinate…
