Senior Rail Civils Engineer

Job Description

We are currently recruiting for a Senior Rail Site Engineer for an important major Civils client of ours for a Civils light rail project in the Central Coventry area of the West Midlands.

We ideally need someone with an in‑date PTS (Sentinel) Card and with rail background and experience in track renewals, stressing, setting out for track, ballasts and tamping. We need someone ideally with track monitoring experience in SNT & slab track; this can be taught however as long as you have basic track geometry.

They must have a good attitude and good time‑keeping, fitting well into the Civils/Rail team. If a candidate does not have a current in‑date PTS, other arrangements may be made depending on their previous rail experience. Candidates must be competent and able to use the Trimble kit with GPS and SPS

The following is also desirable if candidates have any of the bottom line skills:

• Some form of Highways experience (e.g., kerbs and drainage)
• CSCS card
• SSSTS or SMSTS
• Handback ticket (nice to have)

The site hours are 07:30am – 17:30pm. Candidates will be required to attend an interview (either on Teams or face‑to‑face).
