As a Senior Track Geometry Engineer, you’ll join the Technology department that plays a pivotal role in developing and delivering products and services to our clients. With a focus on gathering, processing, analysing and presenting railway condition data, we oversee the entire lifecycle of products and services. From research and development to implementation and maintenance. Our expertise spans railway design and quality parameters, and various measurement techniques such as inertia, laser profiling, axle box acceleration, ultrasonic, eddy current, video and localisation. Track Geometry concerns deviations in track layout, such as height, alignment, cant and gauge. Working alongside a team of 15 colleagues, your responsibilities will include:

• Researching, specifying and developing products and services from both technical and data perspectives
• Combining theoretical knowledge with practical experience to evaluate solutions for product development and improvement
• Building consensus for technical developments and integrating them seamlessly into operations
