Lead Project Engineer – Infrastructure Maintenance Depot (IMD) – Major Rail Project in Central London, United Kingdom

A New Opportunity Similar Role, Different Challenge

If youve seen a similar role before, thats because the client is building multiple depots for this major infrastructure scheme. This opportunity focuses on the Infrastructure Maintenance Depot (IMD) in Buckinghamshirea site that will be critical to the long-term maintenance and operation of the network.

You will play a key leadership role, forming a Tripartite Team alongside the Head of Commercial and Head of Delivery, overseeing the engineering development of a state-of-the-art IMD. The facility will include specialist maintenance workshops, operational control hubs, and workforce training facilities, supporting the safe and efficient operation of a new high-speed railway corridor.

This is a top-down project engineering role, requiring a broad multidisciplinary systems perspective rather than a single-discipline focus. You will work across all rail engineering disciplines, collaborating with subject matter experts in Track, Signalling, Rolling Stock, OLE, and Civils to ensure a fully integrated depot design and construction process.

What Were Looking For:
  • Multidisciplinary & System Integration Expertise Proven experience leading across multiple rail disciplines, ensuring system-wide integration. Experience from the construction side is highly valued.
  • Leadership & Contractor Management Youll need to lead teams directly and manage contractor relationships, ensuring smooth project execution.
  • Depot Project Experience Were looking for someone with significant depot experience, ideally covering the full project lifecycle from design through to construction, testing, and commissioning.
  • Stakeholder & Compliance Management Ability to engage with multiple stakeholders, embedding environmental, urban integration, and community considerations into the project. Strong knowledge of CDM regulations is essential.
  • Technology & Innovation With systems contracts being awarded, this role provides an opportunity to work on cutting-edge railway technologies, shaping the future of infrastructure maintenance.
Experience as a Contractors Engineering manager (CEM) is likely to be helpful, but it is about taking a project from the design through to build, and engaging with the various internal and external stakeholders.  Demonstrable leadership skills is a key to the interview and hiring.  This one could be based from the London office ( hence the higher salary scale) if you are southern based or from Birmingham if more central ( a slightly lower package )
