This is a genuine delivery-focused engineering role. You'll be joining a specialist SME where engineers remain technically involved and are encouraged to take ownership of their work rather than becoming solely reviewers or managers.
The team is looking for someone who can contribute from day one, show initiative, and take responsibility for producing quality designs with minimal direction. In return, you'll gain exposure to a wide variety of projects, work closely with experienced rail professionals and have a clear route for career development.
If you're looking for a role where your technical ability will be valued and where you can make a visible impact on project delivery, we'd like to hear from you.
