Qualifications:
- 5+ years’ experience in rail infrastructure, design, or industrial rail systems
- Strong expertise in track design, turnouts, and yard/terminal layouts
- Experience working with railway standards and approval processes
- Background in oil & gas, midstream, or bulk handling environments preferred
