As a Junior Rail Designer, you will work in a friendly and diverse team to improve the accessibility of public transport and its integration into public spaces. Together with your team, you will create rail designs for projects in the Netherlands and beyond.

Your challenge is designing rail alignments and track layouts for clients such as ProRail, NS, RET, GVB, or international customers. You ensure that the rail design meets client requirements and work together with a Lead Engineer to coordinate and integrate the design with other Rail disciplines, such as overhead lines, cables and pipelines, stations, installations, and rail signaling. The result is an integrated rail design that fits perfectly within the available space. This process involves multiple iterations and can be a complex but challenging puzzle.

You will work on Dutch and foreign projects within the Transportation sector. Your working days can be very diverse. For example, it may be that one day you are working on a Dutch project with Dutch colleagues and the next day you are working on a foreign project with foreign colleagues.

Beautiful examples of projects where these disciplines converge are the Uithoflijn, Bereikbare Regio - OVAH, the Wunderline Groningen-Bremen, Driebergen-Zeist, the Nedersaksenlijn and the rail environment Geldermalsen.

In addition to designing, your activities may consist of:

• Preparing contract documents;
• Conducting surveys along the railway track;
• Performing inspections along the railway track;
• Contributing to the development of our digital ambition;

You have a passion for infrastructure projects and can fully immerse yourself in them. You bring in innovative ideas and love to bring structure to your work. An important quality is that you always keep thinking about the integrality of the project: after all, you are an essential part of the larger whole of the integrated rail design.

In addition, you possess the following qualifications:

• A completed HBO (higher professional education) degree in civil engineering or another technical field with design knowledge;
• Preferably some experience within rail design;
• The ability to work both at a high level (bird's-eye view) and at a detailed level;
• Innovative ideas and the ambition to think along about new developments in the design process;
• Good command of the Dutch and English languages;
• Knowledge of design software such as AutoCAD and/or Civil 3D;
• Strong competencies to collaborate well in a team;
• Excellent communication skills;
• A driven attitude to bring projects to a high-quality result.

We achieve our goals by enabling everyone to get the best out of themselves. We believe that everyone's contribution matters. That is why we pioneer with an approach based on your skills and build a 'Skills Powered Organisation'. With your unique experience and expertise, you will map out your own career path. Together we maximize impact! Your work makes the difference. Whatever role you play, you help provide sustainable solutions for a healthier planet. Leave your mark on your career, your colleagues, clients, your life, and the world around you. On our website, you can read the blogs of Arcadians to find out how we do this.
