Assistant Track Design Engineer - 100% (m/f)

Overview

Assistant Track Design Engineer

• 100% (m/f)
• The ideal candidate will support the technical development and production of Track (Permanent Way) designs, contributing to alignment design, detailed engineering, and multidisciplinary coordination under the guidance of senior engineers.
• The role requires a proactive and detail-oriented approach to deliver high-quality, accurate design outputs while supporting programme compliance and interface management.
• The candidate will develop core competencies in track engineering within a structured mentorship environment, contributing to the successful delivery of complex railway infrastructure projects.

Responsibilities

• Support the development of railway track designs in accordance with design alignment, covering both ballasted and ballastless track systems.
• Assist in the preparation of detailed design calculations, technical reports, drawings, and specifications in compliance with project requirements.
• Work under the guidance of the Senior Engineer / Track Design Lead in design development, technical reviews, and coordination activities.
• Contribute to horizontal and vertical alignment design, including speed calculations and optimization based on project constraints.
• Assist in the detailing and design of ballastless track systems such as LVT, plinth beam, and slab track solutions.
• Coordinate with multidisciplinary teams (civil, structural, geotechnical, and systems) to ensure interface alignment and design consistency.
• Support design reviews, model verification, and clash detection processes.
• Ensure all deliverables comply with applicable international standards (EN, UIC, AREMA, and project-specific requirements).
• Participate in internal design reviews and incorporate feedback from senior engineers and stakeholders.
• Assist in material take-offs (MTO), BOQ preparation, and design documentation management for Track engineering.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, Railway Engineering, or a related discipline (Master's degree is an advantage).
• 3-5 years of experience in railway track design projects.
• Fundamental understanding of railway track systems, including geometry, components, and construction methodologies.
• Familiarity with Track-Structure Interaction (TSI) / Rail-Structure Interaction (RSI) principles.
• Working knowledge of track alignment design (horizontal and vertical geometry).
• Exposure to ballastless track systems and sleeper design is preferred.
• Familiarity with international railway standards such as EN, UIC, and AREMA is mandatory.
• Proficiency in FEA analysis software (e.g., MIDAS, LUSAS, SOFiSTiK) is mandatory.
• Proficiency in CAD and alignment design tools (e.g., AutoCAD, Civil 3D) is desirable.
• Ability to interpret technical drawings, specifications, and engineering standards.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Effective communication and coordination skills in a multidisciplinary team environment.
• High attention to detail with a focus on quality and accuracy in deliverables.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced, team-oriented project environment.
• Demonstrated willingness to learn and develop under technical mentorship.

Additional Advantage

• Experience in High-Speed Rail (HSR), conventional/mainline rail, or metro projects.
• Hands-on exposure to proven ballastless track systems (LVT, Rheda, PORR, etc.).
• Familiarity with BIM workflows and 3D modelling environments.
• Previous experience on GCC railway projects.
• Understanding of design coordination and interface management across disciplines.
