You shall make sure assets are safe, compliant, and operable; develop your own solutions; and be a trusted source of engineering advice for everyone, including our Heads of Engineering Delivery.
You will have experience of assessing building condition and building defect analysis together with a good understanding of the relevant legislation, rail technical standards and best practice. Experience of design production and assurance, coordination and specification writing (NBS), on-site supervision and assurance of works is preferred.
