This is a unique opportunity to join one of the UK's most significant rail projects and play a key role in ensuring that a brand-new railway is safe, maintainable and fit for operation for decades to come. Working within the Infrastructure Maintenance and Asset Management team, you will act as the future maintainer's representative, reviewing assets as they transition from construction into operation.

- Strong understanding of civil engineering assets and their maintenance requirements
- Experience reviewing technical documentation, maintenance requirements and asset information
- Ability to identify operational and maintainability risks and communicate recommendations effectively
- Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills
- Practical, hands-on industry experience with a clear understanding of asset lifecycle management
- Minimum of 5 years' relevant experience within asset management, asset engineering or infrastructure maintenance
- Structures asset management experience
- Rail infrastructure experience within Network Rail, HS2, TfL, contractors or consultancies
- Experience with bridges, viaducts, tunnels, earthworks or drainage assets
- Asset Protection (ASPRO) experience
- Highways civils asset management experience with an understanding of operational infrastructure risks
- Client-side asset management experience, although strong contractor-side candidates will also be considered

If you're ready to play a key role in shaping the future of UK rail infrastructure, we'd love to hear from you.
