We are currently seeking an experienced Track Engineer to join the SRL Operator Technical Team and Engineering Authority within the Suburban Rail Loop (SRL) Linewide Alliance.

The Track Engineer plays a key role in ensuring track specification and design are developed to meet the needs of future SRL operations. The role focuses on safety, performance, reliability, and whole-of-life optimisation, supporting an operator-led design approach throughout the project lifecycle.

Reporting through the Engineering Authority, you will provide technical reviews to the Engineering Authority Manager ahead of RTO stage gates and Engineering Review Committees. You will also support the development of Operation and Maintenance (O&M) needs from the early phases of the project. The scope of the role may evolve as the program progresses. In this role, you will:

• Develop and maintain track sections of O&M Concept Documents, including stabling yards
• Translate concept documentation into O&M needs and project requirements
• Ensure RAM specifications and track design meet system performance requirements
• Support system-wide noise and vibration targets through track design
• Review Linewide Alliance track designs to meet operator requirements across stabling yards, depots, tunnels, and testing facilities
• Contribute to track reliability targets with Alliance partners
• Participate in Safety in Design reviews for track systems
• Ensure seamless integration of track with other subsystems, including wheel–rail interfaces
• Review track interfaces and related assets
• Assess stabling yard layouts, depot arrangements, and storage capacity
• Ensure track maintenance equipment meets operational requirements
• Support O&M readiness with track maintenance procedures
• Collect and provide asset data per asset management schema
• Own and improve lifecycle cost assumptions during design
• Maintain track maintenance documentation and support audits and inspections
• Review track completion and handover artefacts
• Ensure compliance with regulations, standards, and best practices
• Stay informed on emerging technologies and regulatory changes affecting track systems
• Provide technical guidance in your area of expertise

You are a technically strong rail professional with deep experience in track systems across design, delivery, and maintenance. You are comfortable working across interfaces, influencing design outcomes, and ensuring track systems are fit for long-term operations. You will bring:

• Master’s degree in Engineering or a related discipline
• 7–10 years’ experience in track design, manufacturing, testing, commissioning, and maintenance
• Experience with depot equipment, special tools, and predictive maintenance technologies
• Strong communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills
• Ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams and external stakeholders
• Certification or training in relevant system technologies or methodologies (desirable)
• Experience with project management tools and methodologies delivering complex projects (desirable)
