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.
