North West
Permanent | Tier 1 Civil Engineering Contractor

A highly respected Tier 1 civil engineering contractor is expanding its rail capability with the launch of a new Track / Pway division, following the award of a long-term framework project in the North West.

This is a standout opportunity to join a business known for delivering complex infrastructure safely and efficiently, with a strong culture of promoting from within and a workforce packed with long-serving employees who’ve progressed through the ranks.


The Project

  • Long-term track framework with works secured through to at least the end of 2028

  • Additional tenders underway, both within the framework and across the wider business

  • Clear intention to retain staff and move engineers onto future projects

  • Strong order book and long-term stability


The Role

As a Track Project Engineer, you will report directly to the Senior Track Engineer and play a key role in the technical and engineering delivery of permanent way works.

This is a site-focused role, ideal for someone who enjoys being close to construction, driving quality, and solving problems on the ground.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Coordinating the technical delivery of track projects from tender through to handback

  • Providing engineering support to ensure works are delivered safely, to standard, and efficiently

  • Supporting the development of construction methodologies, work packs, and sequencing

  • Overseeing quality control, inspections, and assurance processes on site

  • Liaising with site teams, subcontractors, and management to ensure smooth delivery

  • Supporting possession planning and disruptive works where required


What We’re Looking For

  • Proven experience in Permanent Way / Track Engineering

  • Background in track renewals and enhancement projects

  • Strong understanding of construction methodology and site delivery

  • Comfortable working in a live rail environment

  • A hands-on engineer who enjoys problem-solving and being site-based


Working Pattern

  • Monday to Friday days as standard

  • Weekend overtime available

  • Occasional night shifts during disruptive possession works


What’s On Offer

  • Permanent position with a Tier 1 contractor

  • Salary negotiable depending on experience

  • Long-term project security and future opportunities beyond this framework

  • A business with a genuine reputation for developing and promoting its people


Next Steps

  • Interviews taking place over the next 2 weeks

  • The client is keen to appoint quickly and get someone on board as soon as possible
