Engineer-Track Alignment

We are seeking an experienced Rail Track Alignment Engineer with 4–6 years of experience in Metro, Light Rail Transit (LRT), Mainline Rail, High-Speed Rail, or Freight Rail projects. The successful candidate will support the design and development of Railway Track Alignment and track geometry, including the preparation of detailed design and construction drawings for global projects. The role requires strong technical knowledge of track alignment design principles, proficiency in relevant design tools, problem-solving skills, and the ability to work effectively within multidisciplinary project team.
 

Key Responsibilities

• Develop track alignment and track geometry designs (horizontal and vertical alignments, can't, transitions, and switches and crossings layouts) across all design stages, from Feasibility to Construction, for plain track, station yards, depots, and complex layouts.
• Prepare detailed design and construction drawings, calculations, and design reports for global projects in line with applicable standards, client requirements, and project quality procedures.
• Carry out checks and design reviews of track alignment and trackwork deliverables at every project phase, and support Senior Engineers in implementing sound design workflows and procedures.
• Assess structure gauge and track clearances and perform design analysis to confirm compliance with applicable standards.
• Coordinate with multidisciplinary teams (civil, structures, systems, and others) to resolve interfaces, while sharing knowledge and supporting the development of junior team members.

Required

• Minimum 4-6 years of working experience on infrastructure projects and detailed design of Railways and Track Design.
• Master of Science (preferably in engineering) in Transportation Engineering or a bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering.
