We are seeking an experienced Senior Engineer – Track Design to join our Global Capability Centre (GCC) in Bangalore. The role leads the design and technical coordination of slab track systems for rail and transit projects, ensuring compliance with international standards such as EN, AREMA and UIC. The ideal candidate brings 10+ years of railway track structure experience, strong analytical skills in static, dynamic and track-structure interaction assessments, and the ability to coordinate across disciplines and engage confidently with clients. As a senior member of the team, you will deliver high-quality, cost-effective designs, manage risks and schedules, and mentor junior engineers while supporting global project teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and deliver slab track design packages in line with project specifications, codes and standards.
• Prepare and self-check design drawings, calculations and specifications for assigned packages, and support internal peer and lead reviews to maintain quality and consistency.
• Propose practical, well-reasoned solutions to technical challenges and project constraints within assigned design scope and agree the approach with the client.
• Plan and deliver assigned design tasks within agreed schedules, flagging potential delays to the Track Lead at an early stage.
• Identify design risks and technical issues within own work packages and escalate them with proposed mitigation options.
• Provide technical input in client discussions on assigned packages and respond to client comments.
• Coordinate day-to-day design interfaces with Civil, Structural, Signalling and Electrical discipline engineers to support integrated designs.
• Apply relevant railway and safety standards (EN, AREMA, UIC or project-specific codes) directly in all assigned design work.
• Carry out hands-on static and dynamic load analyses using FEM tools to validate the structural and operational performance of the design.
• Develop design optimisation options for cost efficiency, durability and maintainability.
• Produce and maintain design reports, drawings and calculation records for assigned packages, ensuring they are complete, traceable and review ready.
• Follow quality assurance and control procedures at each design stage and incorporate review comments into deliverables.
• Share technical knowledge and give day-to-day guidance to Track engineers and BIM designers working on the same packages.
• Contribute as a subject-matter presenter to team training sessions on slab track design concepts, software tools and standards.
• Resolve technical queries on assigned packages during the design and construction phases.

• M.E./M.Tech in Structural Engineering (or equivalent) with a minimum of 8+ years of experience in railway track structures, including hands-on design of slab track systems.
• Professionally qualified as PEng/ CEng/ IEng / any equivalent qualification.
• Strong working knowledge of slab track systems, including design principles, material properties and construction techniques, applied directly in day-to-day design delivery.
• Familiarity with international railway standards such as EN, AREMA and UIC (or equivalent design codes), and the ability to apply them accurately in design calculations and drawings.
• Demonstrated ability to carry out static, dynamic and fatigue analyses independently for safety and durability assessments.
• Hands-on proficiency in Midas Civil, STAAD.Pro, ADSEC or other FEM software for modelling, analysis and design checks.
• Sound understanding of structural behaviour and structural dynamics, and of track components such as turnouts, crossovers and buffer stops.
• Practical understanding of Track-Structure Interaction (TSI), including its integration with supporting structures and the interfaces between track and structure.
• Awareness of slab track installation, maintenance and inspection practices, to inform buildable and maintainable designs.
• Familiarity with how noise and vibration assessments correlate with track structure design.
