your future. in line with ours.

Bring breath-taking engineering to life

At Align you’ll play your part in delivering a landmark project of international significance. The twin-bore tunnels through the Chiltern Hills, five ventilation shafts and the Colne Valley Viaduct form a key section of the HS2 route. Together, they will be an iconic symbol of Britain’s future railway – featuring an imaginative, sympathetic design that will push the limits of infrastructure engineering. An opportunity like this might only come along once in a career.

Step up to a truly inspiring challenge

Our team is constructing one of the most interesting, technically complex sections on the HS2 route – with a firm focus on sustainability and impact minimisation.  If you’re a technical or engineering specialist, you’ll have the chance to tackle challenges that have rarely been faced before. Due to the scale and importance of the project, this is also a standout career opportunity for anyone joining us in a support or corporate function role.    

Thrive in a unique team, united by its values

Align is one integrated team, created by bringing talented people together from our three Joint Venture partners. From day one, we’ve focused on building a business and culture of our own – underpinned by the strengths of each partner. The team are united by our shared goal and our shared values. It’s an inclusive environment, where everyone has a voice: you have the opportunity to be the best professional you can be, without changing the person you are.
