About the Opportunity
We are currently recruiting an experienced MEPH Construction CRE (Contractor's Responsible Engineer) to lead delivery engineering across high-profile, major Network Rail station schemes in the North West of England
While our primary preference is for an Electrically biased professional, we strongly encourage applications from candidates with a Mechanical or SISS / Telecoms background who hold relevant rail station delivery credentials.
Reporting directly to the Project CEM, you will act as a pivotal technical authority bridging design and build-collaborating closely with the Design CEM during constructability reviews, steering engineering processes from a delivery viewpoint, and overseeing engineering sign-off on-site through to commissioning and handover.
Key Responsibilities
- Engineering Governance: Act as formally signed-off Construction CRE under Network Rail standard NR/L2/INI/02009 (or equivalent company assurance processes).
- Design & Constructability Integration: Liaise directly with the Design CEM and multidisciplinary design teams to review, challenge, and shape design deliverables, ensuring buildability, compliance, and staging alignment.
- On-Site Technical Assurance: Provide technical oversight and sign-off for temporary and permanent MEPH / SISS installations across live station environments.
- Health, Safety & Compliance: Ensure all works strictly adhere to Network Rail standards, CDM regulations, EMC/earthing bonding criteria, and station operational constraints.
- Interface Management: Coordinate with civil, structural, architectural, P-Way, and operational station management stakeholders to mitigate clashes and station disruption.
- Reporting: Maintain structured technical reporting to the Project CEM, driving issue resolution, technical queries (RFIs), and engineering changes.
Candidate Requirements
- CRE Competency: Proven track record holding formal Network Rail Construction CRE competency (MEPH, Electrical, Mechanical, or SISS).
- Major Stations Experience: Demonstrable history delivering complex station upgrades/new-builds within live Network Rail operating environments.
- Technical Background: Qualified in Electrical, Mechanical, or Systems/Telecommunications Engineering (HNC/HND/Degree or relevant professional registration/chartership preferred).
