We are more than 36,000 people, in over 70 countries, dedicated to improving quality of life. Everyone has an important role to play. With the power of many curious minds, together we can solve the world's most complex challenges and deliver more impact together.

Our Rail Consultancy Programme and Project Management team is growing, and you'll be working on some of the biggest, most iconic rail projects imaginable. It’s challenging, rewarding, and will take your career to the next level.
