Senior Civil Design Engineer

Senior Civil Design Engineer – Rail

Remote | Outside IR35 | 1 day per month in the office

A genuine remote opportunity for an experienced Rail Civil Design Engineer.

I'm currently recruiting for an excellent Senior Civil Design Engineer opportunity with an established rail infrastructure business, offering the flexibility to work fully remotely, with just one day per month required in the office.

This is an outside IR35 contract opportunity, making it particularly attractive to experienced contractors looking for flexibility while continuing to work on major UK railway infrastructure projects.

Why consider this opportunity?

• Outside IR35 contract opportunity
• Fully remote working with only 1 day per month in the office
• Work on major UK rail infrastructure projects
• Opportunity to take ownership of technically challenging civil designs
• Work alongside an established and experienced rail engineering team
• Excellent opportunity for an experienced contractor looking for flexibility

The Role

As a Senior Civil Design Engineer, you'll be responsible for delivering high-quality civil engineering designs across railway infrastructure projects.

You'll be involved in developing and reviewing designs from concept through to detailed design, ensuring that engineering solutions meet project requirements, relevant standards and client expectations.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Producing and reviewing civil engineering designs for rail infrastructure projects.
• Developing detailed design solutions, calculations, drawings and technical documentation.
• Working closely with multidisciplinary engineering and project teams.
• Ensuring designs comply with relevant railway standards and specifications.
• Reviewing technical information and identifying potential design issues.
• Providing technical input throughout the design and delivery process.
• Liaising with engineers, project managers, contractors and other stakeholders.
• Supporting the development and checking of designs produced by other engineers.
• Working to agreed project programmes and maintaining high standards of technical quality.

About You

We're looking for an experienced Civil Design Engineer with strong railway experience who can work independently and take ownership of their designs.

You'll ideally have experience in:

• Civil engineering design within the railway sector.
• Producing detailed civil designs and technical documentation.
• Working on railway infrastructure projects.
• Relevant UK railway standards and design requirements.
• Design checking and technical assurance.
• Working within multidisciplinary engineering teams.
• Civil design software and associated engineering tools.
• Managing your own workload and delivering designs to programme.

Experience across areas such as earthworks, drainage, track infrastructure, structures or wider rail civils would be beneficial.

The Opportunity

The biggest attraction of this role is the flexibility.

For experienced rail designers who are tired of being tied to an office every week, this opportunity offers the chance to work remotely from anywhere in the UK, while still working on significant railway infrastructure projects.

With only one day per month in the office, it provides an excellent balance between flexibility and maintaining strong relationships with the wider engineering team.

Interested?

If you're an experienced Senior Civil Design Engineer with railway experience and are interested in an outside IR35 contract with genuine remote flexibility, I'd be keen to hear from you.
