On behalf of Network Rail, we are looking for an Asset Engineer for a 9 month hybrid contract based in York.

Network Rail is at the heart of revitalising Britain’s railway. From Crossrail – Europe’s largest civil engineering project – to investment in world-class stations and major programmes of electrification, we are involved in some of the most ambitious and diverse ventures that this country has ever seen. We at Network Rail are dedicated to becoming one of Britain's best employers and believe this starts with placing the candidate at the heart of everything we do!

As an Asset Engineer your main responsibilities will be to:

• Inspect and prioritise renewal proposals for inclusion in the civil engineering workbank. Provide support to the production and prioritisation of the national business plan.

Check that completed schemes are appropriately assessed to determine they meet the project remit.
• Specify acceptance criteria for civil engineering works including design approval, acceptance of equipment and hand back to maintenance as appropriate. Audit acceptance processes are being discharged appropriately.
• Work with members of the other asset management teams to review renewal and enhancement proposals to optimise engineering activity across the railway infrastructure system and identify critical technical problems.
• Identify issues of national significance and elevate to the national team.
• Check that accurate and comprehensive records relating to the existence, configuration and modification history of civil engineering assets are maintained and that they accurately reflect their current ‘as built‘ status.

Essential: 

• HNC / HND or equivalent qualification in a relevant civil engineering or infrastructure discipline.
• Working towards membership of a relevant professional institution.
• Significant civil engineering experience, particularly related to renewals and enhancements in a complex infrastructure environment.
• Proven experience coordinating and working effectively with a wide range of stakeholders.
