I am recruiting for a Senior Project Engineer to join my client supporting the delivery of major infrastructure works around Old Oak Common in West London.

My client is looking for an experienced Civil Engineer with a strong technical background and proven experience working with Network Rail, who can coordinate complex construction activities, manage engineering interfaces and ensure works are delivered to the required standards.

This position sits within an established engineering team of approximately 20 professionals and focuses on the delivery of offsite infrastructure works, including highway lowering and widening, utility diversions and bridge replacements.

With the programme already well established and designs and subcontract arrangements in place, this is a delivery-focused role requiring someone who can oversee construction activities, identify gaps between design and delivery, and ensure what is being built is technically compliant.

I am particularly interested in candidates who can understand the wider project requirements, confidently challenge technical issues and take ownership of engineering coordination across multiple work packages.

• Chartered Civil Engineer status.
• Previous experience working with Network Rail and a strong understanding of railway infrastructure requirements.
• Significant experience delivering major civil engineering or railway infrastructure projects.
• Strong technical background in construction delivery, engineering design and site assurance.
• Experience coordinating multidisciplinary engineering activities and managing interfaces between contractors, designers and project teams.
• Ability to review technical information, identify design or construction issues and ensure works comply with approved specifications.
• Experience overseeing construction activities and resolving technical challenges during project delivery.
• Strong understanding of engineering assurance, construction quality and technical compliance.
• Ability to understand the wider programme, identify potential gaps and provide practical engineering solutions.
• Excellent communication, coordination and stakeholder management skills.

Nice to Have

• Previous experience working on HS2, Crossrail or other major UK rail infrastructure programmes.
• Experience delivering highway lowering, widening, utility diversions or bridge replacement works.
• Knowledge of CDM regulations, Principal Designer responsibilities and construction assurance.
• Experience managing engineering interfaces involving operational railway infrastructure.
• Background working within a major infrastructure client organisation, Tier 1 contractor or engineering consultancy.
• Experience coordinating complex construction packages within a multidisciplinary engineering environment.

My client offers the opportunity to play an important role in the delivery of one of the UK's largest railway infrastructure programmes, working on complex civil engineering works around Old Oak Common.

This is an opportunity to take ownership of technical delivery, work alongside experienced engineering professionals and contribute directly to the successful completion of a major infrastructure project.
