Project Engineer​/Senior Project Engineer

Overview AtkinsRéalis has one of the rail industry's largest multidisciplinary engineering teams. Our Engineering Management practice works across complex railway projects, helping clients integrate engineering disciplines and deliver safe, compliant and buildable solutions through design, construction, testing and commissioning.

You will join a collaborative team of Project Engineers, Senior Project Engineers and Engineering Managers, working with specialists from across AtkinsRéalis and our clients' organizations. The role offers varied project experience and opportunities to develop wider engineering-management capability and professional responsibility.

• Working under the direction of an Engineering Manager, you will coordinate defined engineering packages and interfaces through design, procurement, construction, installation, testing and commissioning.
• You will work across disciplines, recognizing dependencies and interface risks and involving the appropriate technical specialists and authorities where required.
• Projects may involve interfaces across materials and equipment, construction, systems integration, signaling, control, power, mechanical and electrical systems, telecommunications, track, civils, geotechnical engineering, human factors and environmental disciplines.
• You are not expected to be a specialist in every discipline, but you will need sufficient understanding and judgement to coordinate their contributions effectively.

• Project Engineers will work in appropriate direction while taking responsibility for defined engineering activities, packages and interfaces.
• Senior Project Engineers will operate with greater autonomy, coordinate more complex packages and interfaces, and support less experienced colleagues, while remaining under the overall direction of the Engineering Manager.

• Coordinate defined multidisciplinary engineering packages and interfaces across design and delivery, ensuring that technical information, decisions, dependencies and changes are communicated clearly between disciplines, suppliers, construction teams, project management and clients.
• Take responsibility for agreed engineering activities, deliverables and interfaces, while referring matters outside delegated authority to the Engineering Manager or relevant discipline authority.

• Coordinate engineering documentation, requirements, deliverables, technical queries and assurance evidence for assigned packages, maintaining traceability and highlighting gaps or overdue actions.
• Plan and coordinate engineering interface meetings and interdisciplinary reviews, ensuring that technical inputs, decisions and actions are properly recorded and progressed in accordance with the project's'engineering-management arrangements.
• Support package completion and handover by coordinating the required design, construction, testing, commissioning, materials, compliance, asset and Health and Safety File records.

• Coordinate materials and equipment activities for assigned packages, including schedules, technical submissions, procurement interfaces, compliance evidence and installation readiness.
• Support engineering delivery through construction, installation, testing and commissioning, coordinating responses to site issues and ensuring that technical changes are properly assessed and recorded.

• Work with discipline and delivery teams to resolve engineering issues within assigned packages, considering their wider safety, compliance, constructability, interface, cost and programme implications.
• Challenge matters that may compromise safe or compliant delivery and elevate issues outside delegated authority or requiring formal technical acceptance.

• Build effective working relationships across engineering, construction, suppliers, project management and client teams, communicating technical matters clearly and ensuring that agreed actions are understood and progressed.

• Contribute to tenders by helping to define engineering scope, deliverables, interfaces, assumptions, risks, programme, resource requirements and delivery approach for relevant packages.

• Demonstrable post-training experience in railway or comparable safety-critical engineering, typically gained through equivalent experience in relevant…
