Recruiter: ATKINS
Job Reference: JRx-1832-47319-RL1486
Duration of Employment: Permanent
Start Date: ASAP
Location: London/South East
Salary / Hourly Rate: 38000 - 51000
Job Summary
Atkins is playing a major part in the transformation of the London Underground into a more frequent and reliable service. A key aspect of this essential work requires the replacement of considerable amounts of ballasted track over the SSL and BCV networks. As this track has often never been replaced, and the surrounding retaining walls and tunnels are rather old, there is concern that removing the ballast could cause damage or failure of some of the structures. The consequences of failure could be severe. As a result, some of our most experienced engineers are currently working as STEW engineers, on secondment to the Metronet team. Their challenge is to determine what enabling works are required in order for the ballast replacement to safely proceed. We are currently looking for experienced Civil / Structural /Geotechnical Railway Engineers to join this team. These challenging roles will not only allow you to utilise your technical experience, it will also enable you to draw upon your investigatory and innovative skills in order to facilitate suitable solutions.
Responsibilities
As an Atkins employee initially working within the Metronet Subsurface Track Enabling Works Team (STEW) your key responsibilities will be as follows:
* Taking a technical lead in an assessment team
* Where appropriate, undertake principal inspections and associated site visits of the Bridges and Structures assets
* Lead the assessments of assets from desk study to asset categorisation, providing input to the Asset Register.
* Lead the assessment of materials derived from within the limits of the asset boundaries in new areas of construction for potential re-use
* Periodically appraise the Standards, which govern the procedures for carrying out the work, and be part of a Review Team, which will make recommendations for change as required.
Requirements
* There is little information readily available about the assets under investigation. As a result, this role will suit someone who enjoys problem solving and revels in the challenge of desk based analysis as well as general assessment work
* Applications are invited from chartered civil / structural engineers (or equivalent) with substantial experience in bridges and/or structures design and assessment
* The successful applicant will possess a thorough understanding of the rail industry or other similar safety critical industry and associated rules and regulations.
* You will be confident in using excel, word and appropriate structural analysis software
* Ideally you will already possess appropriate health and safety training certificates although training will be provided
Rewards and Benefits
As a Sunday Times Top 20 Employer we believe in looking after our staff. The pressures and pace of modern life mean that we need to take care to give sufficient priority to our health and well-being. With this in mind, we have a generous rewards and benefits scheme including:-
* 25 days paid annual leave + 8 bank holidays + the ability to sell 5 or buy up to 15 days additional leave
* Contributory Pension Scheme – Atkins will match and double employee contributions
* Life Assurance Scheme
* Personal accident cover
* Share incentive plan...
