About Network Rail
Network Rail is at the heart of revitalising Britain's railway. From Crossrail - Europe's largest civil engineering project - to investment in world-class stations and major programmes of electrification, we're involved in some of the most ambitious and diverse ventures that this country has ever seen.
This will help us deliver the better railway that is vital for the economic prosperity of this country, transforming how people travel and make a massive difference to passengers and freight users right across Britain.
Our shared behaviours are helping us to shape a better railway for a better Britain:
• Customer-driven - We put safety at the heart of everything we do and provide exceptional service;
• Accountable - We understand our priorities and use shared knowledge and expertise to make confident decisions;
• Challenging - We welcome different points of view and constantly seek better solutions;
• Collaborative - We work openly and transparently and are respectful and trusting.
The Building and Civils Design Group is part of Network Rail's Integrated Design Group specialising in the design of railway assets from ancillary structures to bridges, from earthworks to station buildings with more than 550 technical railway design experts.
