equipment, construction, systems integration, signaling, control, power, mechanical and electrical systems, telecommunications, track, civils, geotechnical engineering, human factors and environmental disciplines.\nYou are not expected to be a specialist in every discipline, but you will need sufficient understanding and judgement to coordinate their contributions effectively.\nAppointment level\nProject Engineers will work in appropriate direction while taking responsibility for defined engineering activities, packages and interfaces.\nSenior Project Engineers will operate with greater autonomy, coordinate more complex packages and interfaces, and support less experienced colleagues, while remaining under the overall direction of the Engineering Manager.\nEngineering coordination and integration\nCoordinate defined multidisciplinary engineering packages and interfaces across design and delivery, ensuring that technical information, decisions, dependencies and changes are communicated clearly between disciplines, suppliers, construction teams, project management and clients.\nTake responsibility for agreed engineering activities, deliverables and interfaces, while referring matters outside delegated authority to the Engineering Manager or relevant discipline authority.\nEngineering control and assurance\nCoordinate engineering documentation, requirements, deliverables, technical queries and assurance evidence for assigned packages, maintaining traceability and highlighting gaps or overdue actions.\nPlan and coordinate engineering interface meetings and interdisciplinary reviews, ensuring that technical inputs, decisions and actions are properly recorded and progressed in accordance with the project’s engineering-management arrangements.\nSupport package completion and handover by coordinating the required design, construction, testing, commissioning, materials, compliance, asset and Health and Safety File records.\nMaterials, construction and delivery\nCoordinate materials and equipment activities for assigned packages, including schedules, technical submissions, procurement interfaces, compliance evidence and installation readiness.\nSupport engineering delivery through construction, installation, testing and commissioning, coordinating responses to site issues and ensuring that technical changes are properly assessed and recorded.\nIssue resolution, safety and risk\nWork with discipline and delivery teams to resolve engineering issues within assigned packages, considering their wider safety, compliance, constructability, interface, cost and programme implications.\nChallenge matters that may compromise safe or compliant delivery and escalate issues outside delegated authority or requiring formal technical acceptance.\nCommunication and stakeholder coordination\nBuild effective working relationships across engineering, construction, suppliers, project management and client teams, communicating technical matters clearly and ensuring that agreed actions are understood and progressed.\nTender and work-winning support\nContribute to tenders by helping to define engineering scope, deliverables, interfaces, assumptions, risks, programme, resource requirements and delivery approach for relevant packages.\nAbout you\nEssential qualifications and experience\nDemonstrable post-training experience in railway or comparable safety-critical engineering, typically gained through equivalent experience in relevant roles.\nPractical experience coordinating defined engineering packages and interfaces across design and construction, involving more than one discipline or project stage.\nExperience of materials or equipment, technical deliverables, construction interfaces, technical queries and engineering change.\nA relevant technical qualification through degree, HNC/HND, apprenticeship or equivalent learning and experience.\nEvidence of continuing professional development and a commitment to maintaining current technical and industry knowledge.\nExperience using project information-management and document-control systems, such as Microsoft 365, ProjectWise or comparable platforms.\nDesirable qualifications and experience\nMembership of an appropriate professional engineering institution and Engineering Council registration at EngTech, IEng or CEng level, or demonstrable progress towards registration.\nWorking knowledge of railway engineering safety and risk-management arrangements, including CDM 2015 and, where applicable, the Common Safety Method for Risk Evaluation and Assessment.\nBroad understanding of railway systems and experience working with design, construction, installation, testing or commissioning teams in a railway or comparable safety-critical environment.\nPTS certification and a full UK driving license would be advantageous where required for project duties.\nEssential personal qualities\nClear and credible communicator, able to explain technical matters to engineering, construction and project-management audiences.\nOrganized and dependable, able to manage competing priorities and follow actions through to completion.\nPractical and solutions-focused, with sound judgement and an understanding of delegated authority.\nCollaborative and adaptable, able to work effectively across disciplines, organizations and project stages.\nConfident in challenging matters that could affect safety, compliance, constructability or successful delivery.\nLocation and working arrangements\nThe role may be based on an AtkinsRéalis office in London, Glasgow, York, Birmingham or Derby, with flexibility in location and working arrangements.\nDepending on project needs, the role will involve collaboration with engineering and project teams and travel to AtkinsRéalis and client offices, supplier facilities, construction sites and operational railway locations across the UK.\nRewards & benefits\nExplore the
