Brief Description

Get your career on track

£29k starting salary

With a starting salary of £29k and no experience needed, a career in track at Network Rail is one that pays. Whether you're a school leaver, looking for a career change, or returning to work after some time out, we want to hear from you. No skills or qualifications required, here at Network Rail we're looking for potential.

So, what's the catch? Well, life trackside is challenging, it's physical, you need determination, but the rewards are worth it.Our Track Operatives work outdoors and around the clock to battle everything from track defects to floods and fallen trees to keep Britain moving. Have you got what it takes?

About the role (External)

What does a Track Operative do?

Every single day our rail network carries 18,000 passenger trains and 1,000 freight trains across 10,000 miles of track, resulting in natural wear and tear that our Track Operatives repair.

Carrying millions of people daily, the track is made up of rails, railway ties (sleepers), fasteners, railway switches, ballast and foundations. These components of the railway track play different roles in providing support for trains. Our Track Operatives keep all this in tip top condition to keep passengers and freight moving safely and without interruption.

Using a mix of new technology and manual inspection, Network Rail monitors railway assets around the clock. Maintenance teams are briefed at the start of each shift on the maintenance work to be completed.

As this is an entry level role, Track Operatives support and learn from Track Technicians. This can involve fetching, carrying and using track maintenance tools. Teamwork is a huge part of the job. All Track Operatives receive full training and guidance, learning how to use a range of hand tools and heavy machinery safely. Pending successful learning and development, Track Operatives can progress to Track Technicians.

To reduce disruption to rail services and to increase safety for maintenance teams, this work is often done at night or over weekends. Being able to work a varied shift pattern is important but we'll provide your roster 4 weeks in advance so you can make plans with family and friends in good time.

What are you looking for?

We're looking for people with bags of potential who have:

·A full clean driving licence

·Problem solving skills

·Good communication skills

·Teamwork skills

·A strong safety ethic

·Willingness and ability to work shift patterns with a mixture of daytime, evening and weekend work

·The ability to undertake physical manual work outdoors, whatever the weather

·Willingness to undertake medical assessment and drug and alcohol testing, as part of our recruitment process and whilst you're working for us (it's a safety requirement)

Here's some additional information which might help you.

Shifts Operative roles involve a changing shift pattern including days, nights, and weekends. Outdoor working - Our operatives work outside in all weathers and so you'll be comfortable working in different conditions. Safe working - offers of employment are subject to drug and alcohol testing and passing of the relevant medical assessment and BPSS pre-employment checks. This will include a hearing and eyesight examination. Driving - As an operative you'll also need a driving licence (category B) so you can drive Network Rail vehicles. Commute times – You'll also need to be within a 60-minute commute of the location that you're applying for

Don't meet every requirement? Research suggests that individuals from underrepresented groups may be less likely to apply for a job if they don't meet all the listed criteria. We are building a diverse and inclusive place to work where people of all backgrounds can thrive. We encourage you to apply for this role. We're a Disability Confident organisation and we'll try our best to adapt to suit individual needs. Start your career journey with Network Rail and apply now.
