FERROVIAL CONSTRUCTION (UK) LIMITED
Railway Civils Design Integration Lead Summary: We are now recruiting for a Railway Civils Design Integration Lead to join the HS2 Track infrastructure project at the initial design phase which will run concurrently with the completion of main works contracts, which are now at their peak. We are now developing the track design team which will interface with Main Works Civils and Stations Contracts to manage any interfaces and resolve any potential issues for the track design integration such as earthworks, tunnels and viaducts. Reports to: Design Delivery Director (Standard Slab track) Department: Engineering/Design Work location: London Your mission As a Railway Civils Design Integration Lead, you will lead and manage all design interfaces between viaducts, structures, tunnels, earthworks and the Standard Track System, ensuring that the slab track solution is fully integrated, buildable, and meets all requirements for structural behaviour, movements, durability and long-term performance. This role places a strong emphasis on the ability to interpret and assess structural behaviour, as well as understanding of geotechnical behaviour, including: Movements of viaducts/bridges, including long-term, temperature-driven and transient effects. Settlements / differential settlements and their impact on the slab track system. Expansion joints, bearings and articulation details affecting track behaviour. Overall load transfer mechanism between the slab track system and the railway platform. Key responsibilities Establish and promote best practice in health, safety, sustainability, cost, time, buildability and quality across the track civils interface. Lead the integration of Standard Slab Track with civil structures (viaducts, bridges, retaining structures, tunnels, earthworks), ensuring technical compatibility and early identification of constraints. Evaluate structural movements, deflections, rotations and restraint conditions and assess their impact on slab track performance, system tolerances and construction feasibility. Provide site-informed engineering judgement to optimise detailing, buildability, and sequencing at interfaces between structures and track. Coordinate and manage design interfaces with internal and external designers, ensuring that integration is safe, technically robust and compliant with contractual requirements. Input into engineering workshops, design reviews and integration or technical steering groups. Manage the Interface Control Documents (ICDs) and maintain clear, auditable records. Lead or support the resolution of interfaces, ensuring timely close-out with Main Works Civils, Stations, Systems, Make Works, and other stakeholders. Prepare minutes, notes and technical reports to ensure transparent communication and accurate documentation. Identify opportunities to improve design by incorporating buildability, quality, safety and value optimisation.

Working with the Structures Technical Lead to ensure that designs are coordinated with other interfacing disciplines, and that designs and drawings produced meet the requirements of London Underground and of the Contractor's Works Information.
Assisting the Lead Engineer with supervision, checking and certification of the permanent structural and temporary works.
Key responsibilities
Permanent Works Design Development
To work in accordance with the Design Management Plan (DMP).
To develop the design to achieve a safe, buildable, operational and maintainable asset that is compliant with Standards and meets the Project Requirements.
Assisting with reviews of deliverables as directed by the Structures Technical Lead, giving confirmation that the deliverable can be released to the Client or Third Parties, including the Design Compliance submissions to LU.

Permanent Works Design and Checking
(Structural) Design calculations and checking for permanent works to be used on the Project
Assisting the (Structures) Technical Lead as may be required so that they are able to check, manage and provide assurance for their design disciplines.
Review permanent works designs to identify errors and omissions. Challenge the design and application of standards to economise the construction.
There will be numerous "small" design actions requiring both structural design capability and coordination with other disciplines - namely Premises and MEPFC. (These tasks, whilst small, come with complex constraints and associated engineering challenges. Example design actions - reviewing station cladding panel bracketry, maintenance access chamber cover pits, mechanical ductwork brackets and frames, review fire door hanging philosophy, review balustrade specialist designs, designs in both steel and concrete.)
Assist with Temporary Works design as may be required.
Provide P&TW designs in accordance with codes of specifications.
Prepare P&TW risk assessments to eliminate or mitigate design risk.
Maintain all records relating to the final design of the P&TW works including drawings, calculations and other relevant documents - and uploading to the relevant document management system, as may be required.
Ensure that those responsible for constructing the P&TW works receive full details of the design, including any limitations and guidance notes associated with it.
Permanent Works Design Assurance
Review and contribute to the Request for Information (RFI) process between the London Underground, Construction team, Engineering team and the Design Consultants - as directed by the Structures Technical Lead.
Ensure that any proposed changes in materials or construction are checked against the original P&TW design and appropriate action taken.
Ensure that the change control process is followed, that any agreed changes or remedial action are done properly and controlled & monitored on site.
Review and comment and when required approve the Construction team ITPs and SSoW.
Confirmation of the acceptability of NCRs and any remedial works.
Review records / As-built information and confirm compliance with the design intent.
Reporting, resource and competency management
The candidate needs to be able to work independently whilst still reporting to the Structures Technical Lead.
The candidate needs to be a good communicator. Most reporting / interfacing will be with the Structures Technical Lead, but there will be much interfacing with other discipline Technical Leads, the Construction Team, and with Subcontractors.
The candidate should be proactive in researching products and solutions directly with Suppliers, e.g. Unistrut, movement joint suppliers, composite cladding panel suppliers, etc.
Mandatory
Experience within a similar role within an appropriately sized engineering organisation.
Experience in working in multi-disciplinary engineering projects
Have excellent communication (written and verbal), management and organisational skills.
Educated to degree or higher level or equivalent in a numerate discipline, typically an Engineering discipline.
A good working knowledge of Health & Safety Regulations, Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 and other relevant legislation.
Desirable
Membership of an appropriate Professional body, typically Chartered member of Institute of Civil Engineering or an international equivalent professional status.
Well-developed IT skills including a working knowledge of BIM and the use of collaborative platforms.
Previous experience working in urban areas
Circa 10 years' experience working in Engineering
