Brief Description

As a member of the Capital Delivery Euston Engineering team, you will play a pivotal role in the safe and efficient delivery and assurance of engineering works across the Redevelopment of Euston Conventional Station (RECS) and a range of shorter-term intervention projects aimed at enhancing the station experience for our customers.


The RECS project is a transformative 1.5bn programme that will leave a lasting legacy in the surrounding area--driving regeneration and delivering a world-class transport interchange. The project must integrate seamlessly with the new HS2 station currently under construction, as well as a new and upgraded London Underground station that will sit beneath both mainline terminals. It is a highly complex and fascinating scheme that demands strong engineering leadership to ensure successful delivery and the realisation of key outcomes.


In this role, you will act as the Designated Project Engineer (DPE) across a variety of project packages, working collaboratively with sponsors, project managers, the station operations team, and key stakeholders including HS2, Camden Council, the Greater London Authority (GLA), and others. As a result, strong communication skills are essential as you will be representing Network Rail in stakeholder meetings.


Given the complexity of mechanical and electrical (M&E) assets at Euston, this role requires an M&E bias. Effective long-term management and integration of these assets is critical to ensuring a safe, resilient, and future-proofed station environment.####
