Reporting to the Design Manager of each respective station (with a technical reporting relationship to the Systemwide Lead), within the Co-Development Phase of the ALTO programme, the Engineer will provide design services, coordination and delivery of their work discipline work package for their respective station of the High-Speed Rail (HSR) programme.

The Engineer is responsible for overseeing the planning, design and integration of their respective discipline, and station with associated elements of that station on the corridor, ensuring alignment with programme objectives, operational requirements, regulatory frameworks, and lifecycle performance targets.

This role entails multidisciplinary design coordination (architecture, structural, MEP, utilities, fire/life safety, vertical transportation, civil interfaces, and rail systems integration), combined with applicable interface management across civil, rail systems, operations, and stakeholders.

The Engineer acts as the accountable authority for station-specific discipline decisions and Engineer of Record.
