About the Role

This position serves as a senior-level professional engineer under general supervision, responsible for the design, construction, and maintenance of transportation infrastructure, track, and facilities projects. The role involves the selection and application of complex engineering techniques and procedures to manage moderately complex projects. A primary challenge is designing track components for maximum useful life to minimize disruption to passengers, while staying abreast of scientific knowledge and engineering technology to solve theoretical or practical civil engineering problems.

The work environment includes a general office setting as well as outdoor field work. Engineers will conduct inspections and testing of the rapid transit track system, often walking on elevated track structures and long distances of track while carrying light tools. Field work may take place in or near shop, garage, and terminal areas, adjacent to energized contact rails and moving trains, and is subject to prevailing weather conditions.
