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.
