Brief Description
As the Assistant Off Track Maintenance Engineer, you will be responsible for leading the drainage strategy and implementing Lord Mair recommendations for the Delivery Unit, providing technical guidance to Off Track Section Manager’s in relation to drainage solutions and specifications.
Our Route
The West Coast South route stretches from the south of Crewe to London Euston, carrying millions of passengers, and up to 10% of the country’s freight traffic each year. Our route contains the West Coast main line which stretches over 1,000 miles of track and has 64 passenger stations. It’s also the busiest mixed-use railway in Europe, forming Anglo-Scottish journeys between London, Glasgow and Edinburgh, as well as providing commuter links to the capital through Hertfordshire, Northamptonshire, and Buckinghamshire.
The West Coast main line was electrified in the 1960s, allowing for longer, faster train services for passengers and freight. This meant that London Euston Station has to be rebuilt to create space for the new overhead equipment and was the first station in London to provide express passenger journeys to distant cities.

1. Responsible for requesting additional Drainage budget schemes from Principle Route Engineer team
