Project Management & Delivery

At Spencer Rail Engineering, we manage and deliver complex rail infrastructure projects with care, control and confidence. Our experience spans challenging live rail environments where safety, programme certainty and operational continuity are critical. Through detailed planning, proactive management and a strong self-delivery model, we help our clients achieve successful outcomes while minimising disruption to passengers, operators and local communities.

We have a proven track record of delivering safely within live operational environments, where maintaining rail services is essential. By self-performing key disciplines—including civil engineering, mechanical and electrical works, OHLE and permanent way—we retain full control across interfaces, reducing risk and ensuring seamless integration throughout delivery. Our in-house possession planning plays a vital role, allowing works to be carefully sequenced and efficiently delivered with minimal impact on the operational network.

Safety-first planning underpins every stage of our work, from early design through to completion. Our accredited HSQE management systems ensure compliance with the highest industry standards and are supported by robust risk assessment, hazard identification and effective mitigation measures. Disciplined site management, controlled access arrangements and permit systems help protect our people, the public and the integrity of the rail infrastructure we are trusted to deliver.

Collaboration sits at the heart of our project management approach. We work closely with Network Rail, Train Operating Companies, Local Authorities and private sector partners to align objectives, manage interfaces and maintain continuity of operations. Through Early Contractor Involvement (ECI), we identify and address risk at the earliest opportunity—helping to optimise designs, improve programme efficiency and provide greater cost certainty before construction begins.

By combining disciplined programme and risk management with practical rail experience and continuous improvement, we deliver safe, reliable and efficient rail infrastructure solutions that meet today’s needs and support the long-term performance of the UK rail network.
