Project Engineer, Depot, High Speed Rail
Our client is looking for a Project Engineer to join the client-side team working on a new state-of-the-art rail maintenance depot.
You will support the Senior Project Engineers and Lead Project Engineers in managing engineering issues arising from the design and build of a genuinely complex, multi-disciplinary programme.
Your day-to-day purpose is to be one of the first points of contact for the design and build contractor on technical matters, helping to keep engineering activity on track across the depot scope. This is a role that will expose you to considerable experience across a major infrastructure programme, and our client will support your journey towards Chartership with active mentoring.
What the role involves
- Support the technical assurance of design and construction activity across the depot programme, working alongside Senior and Lead Project Engineers to review contractor deliverables and evidence that they meet the required standards at each stage gate.
- Take part in planned Technical Assurance Reviews and targeted checks of contractor output, reporting any non-compliance you identify.
- Be one of the first points of contact for technical queries from the Design and Build contractor, communicating engineering requirements clearly and providing considered responses with the backing of your team.
- Work with technical specialists across the programme to develop solutions that balance quality, cost and programme, contributing to successful system integration.
- Support the discharge of NEC3 Supervisor duties and Principal Designer responsibilities under CDM Regulations 2015 within your scope, working as part of a team structured to carry those obligations properly.
