Acritical part of the work we do is the daily upkeep of the rail network.

As an operative you'll work outdoors in a small team, supporting essential maintenance to keep the railway running safely and smoothly for passengers and freight users.

We're focused on your transferrable skills and behaviours and if you can demonstrate that, then we will provide you with all the necessary training to have you working safely and competently out on the network.

Being safety focused, respectful of rules and a team player will be critical as you'll often be working next to moving trains travelling at high speed.

You matter to your team

The team depends on you.

You're the one who shows up first and leaves last, who makes sure the van and equipment are checked and ready for every shift, and who drives the team from site to site.

Every day you'll support your team in maintaining equipment and will provide lookout duties to keep the whole team safe.

Working under pressure Working outdoors in all conditions, and with trains passing close by means you'll need to remain calm under pressure.


Following rules and instructions It is important that you understand and respect the rules, but also feel confident to challenge if you see a situation is unsafe.


Willingness to learn You'll consistently develop your skills and competencies relevant to your discipline, keeping up to date with new standards, procedures, and instructions.

It matters that this is the right role for you
