BAM are now recruiting for a Slab track – Civils Design Interface Engineer to join the HS2 Track infrastructure project at the initial design phase, which will run concurrently with the completion of main works contracts, which are now at their peak. We are now developing the track design team which will interface with Main Works Civils and Stations Contracts to manage any interfaces and resolve any potential issues for the track design integration such as earthworks, tunnels and viaducts.
As a Slab track – Civils design interface engineer, you will manage all design interfaces between viaducts, structures, tunnels, earthworks and the Track System, ensuring that the slab track solution is fully integrated, buildable, and meets all requirements for structural behaviour, movements, durability and long-term performance. This role places a strong emphasis on the ability to interpret and assess structural behaviour, as well as understanding of geotechnical behaviour, including:
Movements of viaducts/bridges, including long-term, temperature-driven and transient effects.
Settlements / differential settlements and their impact on the slab track system.
Expansion joints, bearings and articulation details affecting track behaviour.
Overall load transfer mechanism between the slab track system and the railway platform.

Location: HS2 project offices in London Euston

Establish and promote best practice in health, safety, sustainability, cost, time, buildability and quality across the track–civils interface.
Integration of Standard Slab Track with civil structures (viaducts, bridges, retaining structures, tunnels, earthworks), ensuring technical compatibility and early identification of constraints.
Evaluate structural movements, deflections, rotations and restraint conditions and assess their impact on slab track performance, system tolerances and construction feasibility.
Provide site-informed engineering judgement to optimise detailing, buildability, and sequencing at interfaces between structures and track.
Coordinate and manage design interfaces with internal and external designers, ensuring that integration is safe, technically robust and compliant with contractual requirements.
Input into engineering workshops, design reviews and integration or technical steering groups.
Coordinate the Interface Control Documents (ICDs) and maintain clear, auditable records.
Support the resolution of interfaces, ensuring timely close-out with Main Works Civils, Stations, Systems, Make Works, and other stakeholders.
Prepare minutes, notes and technical reports to ensure transparent communication and accurate documentation.
Identify opportunities to improve design by incorporating buildability, quality, safety and value optimisation.
Support risk identification, mitigation and reporting relating to structural–track integration.
Ensure all interface activities are managed in line with programme and escalate issues proactively where needed.
Maintain and promote awareness of SHE hazards and demonstrate active commitment to minimise associated risks.
Attend meetings with the broader design, integration and construction teams and client in Birmingham / London.

What do you bring to the role?
Technical and management skills, with a positive and collaborative approach
Enthusiastic team player, able to listen, understand, engage and motivate, and with confidence to make decisions when required
Degree-qualified in Civil Engineering or equivalent; Chartered or approaching Chartered status preferred.
Experience in structures, geotechnics, civils or infrastructure, ideally within a Rail environment.
Degree qualification in civil engineering or equivalent
Ability to interpret structural drawings, details, movement envelopes, tolerances and to understand their implications for track slab alignment and system constraints.
Familiarity with interface management, technical assurance processes, and formal workflows for design coordination (ICDs, risk registers, change management, requirements traceability).
Understanding of design procedures, British/Eurocode standards, and (preferably) HS2-specific standards and processes.
Knowledge of design procedures and standards
Preferably knowledge of HS2 processes and standards
Ability to work in a collaborative multidisciplinary team environment
A good commercial understanding of contracts, procurement routes and risk management.
Strong appreciation for 3D design and BIM and digital engineering, with the ability to use model reviews to identify clashes and integration risks.
Excellent communication—both interpersonal and formal reporting—able to challenge constructively and influence decision-making.
Professional approach with clients, designers, JV partners, subcontractors and suppliers.
