Rail Engineer

Join Tetra Tech and contribute to the delivery of innovative, safe and sustainable rail infrastructure across the UK and Republic of Ireland. We are looking for a Rail Engineer who can bring practical engineering expertise to multidisciplinary projects, from early-stage concept development and option selection through detailed design, construction support and handover.

This is an opportunity to work on exciting projects for clients including Network Rail and local authorities, while collaborating with experienced professionals across track, civils, structures, stations, systems, electrification, signalling, utilities and operations.

As a Rail Engineer, you will provide practical engineering input across the full project lifecycle. You will help develop coordinated, buildable and compliant solutions that respond to client requirements, operational railway constraints, asset limitations, access arrangements and whole-life considerations.

The role will involve developing and reviewing engineering deliverables, including calculations, specifications, drawings and technical reports, within your discipline and level of competence. You will contribute to surveys, site inspections, option assessments, constructability reviews, design risk management, design assurance, construction observations and the preparation of handover information.

You will also work closely with project managers and technical specialists to define scope, estimate effort, monitor progress and communicate technical risks, decisions and requirements effectively.
