Building a sustainable tomorrow BAM are now recruiting for a Slab track Civils Design Interface Engineer to join the HS2 Track infrastructure project at the initial design phase, which will run concurrently with the completion of main works contracts, which are now at their peak. We are now developing the track design team which will interface with Main Works Civils and Stations Contracts to manage any interfaces and resolve any potential issues for the track design integration such as earthworks, tunnels and viaducts.As a Slab track Civils design interface engineer, you will manage all design interfaces between viaducts, structures, tunnels, earthworks and the Track System, ensuring that the slab track solution is fully integrated, buildable, and meets all requirements for structural behaviour, movements, durability and long-term performance. This role places a strong emphasis on the ability to interpret and assess structural behaviour, as well as understanding of geotechnical behaviour, including:Movements of viaducts/bridges, including long-term, temperature-driven and transient effects.Settlements / differential settlements and their impact on the slab track system.Expansion joints, bearings and articulation details affecting track behaviour.Overall load transfer mechanism between the slab track system and the railway platform.Your team Location: HS2 project offices in London EustonFull-time; permanent roleMaking Possible Establish and promote best practice in health, safety, sustainability, cost, time, buildability and quality across the trackcivils interface.Integration of Standard Slab Track with civil structures (viaducts, bridges, retaining structures, tunnels, earthworks), ensuring technical compatibility and early identification of constraints.Evaluate structural movements, deflections, rotations and restraint conditions and assess their impact on slab track performance, system tolerances and construction feasibility.Provide site-informed engineering judgement to optimise detailing, buildability, and sequencing at interfaces between structures and track.Coordinate and manage design interfaces with internal and external designers, ensuring that integration is safe, technically robust and compliant with contractual requirements.Input into engineering workshops, design reviews and integration or technical steering groups.Coordinate the Interface Control Documents (ICDs) and maintain clear, auditable records.Support the resolution of interfaces, ensuring timely close-out with Main Works Civils, Stations, Systems, Make Works, and other stakeholders.Prepare minutes, notes and technical reports to ensure transparent communication and accurate documentation.Identify opportunities to improve design by incorporating buildability, quality, safety and value optimisation.Support risk identification, mitigation and reporting relating to structuraltrack integration.Ensure all interface activities are managed in line with programme and escalate issues proactively where needed.Maintain and promote awareness of SHE hazards and demonstrate active commitment to minimise associated risks.Attend meetings with the broader design, integration and construction teams and client in Birmingham / London.What do you bring to the role?
