Rail Designer/Railway Design Engineer

We are recruiting a Rail Designer on behalf of our client, an international consulting and engineering group active in Romania for almost 30 years, with services in road and rail transport infrastructure, water and environment, energy, urban development, and institutional advisory. Globally, the company creates and operates intelligent infrastructure and buildings that support the transition to a low-carbon economy and sustainable territorial development.

If railway design is your specialisation, this role lets you apply it on large infrastructure programmes, with responsibility from the design theme all the way to handover and execution monitoring. You’ll prepare technical design solutions, drawings, and project documentation, support the technical checks, and keep the relationship with the Beneficiary, subcontractors, verifiers, and involved institutions - with field visits as part of the work. You will be part of multidisciplinary design teams (roads, bridges and structures, railways, hydrotechnical works), working to international design and contract management standards, including FIDIC.

• Location: Bucharest (Victorie i area) - hybrid work schedule

• Employment contract (CIM) or B2B collaboration, based on your preference

• Large-scale transport infrastructure projects, in Romania and internationally

If railway design is your area and you want projects with real technical depth, apply now - or get in touch first for an informal conversation. We will tell you which company is hiring, walk you through the projects and the team, and nothing is sent to the employer without your go-ahead.
