Building Services Engineer (M&E)

Job summary:

The Civil Engineering team is responsible for holding Network Rail accountable for a broad spectrum of railway civil assets. These assets include Track, Structures, Operational Property, Earthworks, and Drainage. Our primary objective is to monitor Network Rail’s performance and ensure they meet the civil engineering output obligations set during the periodic review.

Our Civil Engineering team comprises experienced civil engineers, covering a broad range of civil disciplines (e.g. track, structures, geotechnics, etc.); but our regulation of Network Rail often extends outside of these disciplines. For example, we are interested in the following areas:

The efficiency and sustainability of how railway stations, depots and fixed plant are managed and operated.
Lifecycle strategies and policies including new and emerging technology areas for specialist building services in railway buildings.
Accessibility of new and renewed station infrastructure, including vertical transportation such as lifts and escalators, for persons with disabilities and persons with reduced mobility.
Pedestrian flows, e.g. designing for fire safety or overcrowding on special events.
Complex station upgrades, involving railway infrastructure and 3rd party development (e.g. local government or private developers).
Possible impacts of climate change on railway buildings.

We work with Network Rail on its journey towards achieving best practice in engineering and asset management. We encourage Network Rail to adopt best practice by using appropriate data to challenge decisions about maintenance and renewal of assets over their lifecycle. By achieving a more resilient and reliable network we can improve performance, efficiency and safety resulting in a better service for passengers and customers as well as value for taxpayers.

This is a great opportunity for someone to develop their knowledge of asset management, safety and economic regulation. There are interesting challenges ahead for the team, and we are therefore looking for an exceptional individual to help us drive forward our corporate objectives.
