  • Collaborate with Power (OCS / TPSS) and Signaling teams to ensure proper integration of track components, grounding, and cable routing.
  • Review and approve contractor design drawings, technical reports, and construction methodology related to track installation.
  • Perform constructability reviews to validate installation feasibility, access logistics, and interface with adjacent works.
  • Develop track material specifications and ensure conformity with relevant railway and transit design standards.
  • Oversee turnout and crossing design, weld plans, and special trackwork interfaces.
  • Support vibration and noise mitigation studies through appropriate track form design solutions.
  • Coordinate with geotechnical and civil teams to validate subgrade performance and track slab stability.
  • Review as-built designs and support quality assurance of track installation and alignment survey verification.
  • Provide design support during Testing & Commissioning to ensure alignment tolerances and smooth running quality.
  • Ensure all track design deliverables meet the required quality, safety, and maintainability standards.
  • Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Civil or Railway Engineering; Master's degree preferred.
  • 12-18 years of progressive experience in permanent way or track design, preferably on light rail or metro projects.
  • Strong understanding of track design standards, rail geometry principles, and LRT operational characteristics.
  • Experience with embedded, slab, and ballasted track systems, including design for mixed-traffic and urban environments.
  • Proficiency in track design software such as Bentley Rail Track, Open Rail Designer, or Civil 3D.
  • Familiarity with rail standards (AREMA, EN, ISO, and local codes) and alignment design criteria.
  • Strong coordination experience with rolling stock, signaling, and civil structures disciplines.
  • Knowledge of construction methods, material selection, and track tolerances.
  • Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills with an emphasis on technical precision.
  • Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) or equivalent registration required.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to lead design review sessions.
