The role

Develop your engineering career on major rail infrastructure projects

This is an exciting opportunity to join our Rail Systems business, supporting the delivery of vital civil engineering projects across the UK's rail infrastructure network. You'll work alongside experienced engineers and designers, developing technical expertise while contributing to projects that have a lasting impact on communities and transport networks.

Working within the Civils Design team, you'll support the production of drawings, 3D models, technical documentation and site survey information, while gaining valuable exposure to engineering design activities. This role offers excellent long-term career development potential, including progression towards Design Engineer positions.

As a Civil Engineering Technician, you'll have a role that's out of the ordinary. Sitting between a traditional CAD Technician and a Design Engineer position, you'll combine technical drawing expertise with engineering support activities across a diverse range of rail and infrastructure projects.

  • Producing and updating CAD drawings and 3D models for rail infrastructure projects.
  • Supporting Design Engineers with technical documentation, reports and project deliverables.
  • Assisting with surveys, data collection and engineering information management.
  • Checking drawings and documentation to ensure quality and accuracy.
