About the role (External):


Operatives can specialise in a range of disciplines but for this role you'll become a specialist in Off track: You'll be responsible for maintaining, inspecting and repairing the land alongside the track network to keep the railway safe and efficient.

This includes vegetation management, drainage and ancillary structures.

Our operatives work outside in all conditions, at all times of the year, day, or night. You'll be involved in demanding manual work, often with the need to transport kit, across tricky terrain.

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.


Your skills matter
Our operatives play a key role in our maintenance teams.

You don't necessarily need rail experience, but you do need to show how your transferrable skills meet the following:

  • Teamworking Our maintenance teams depend on each other and you'll be able to work closely with the team to deliver safe and efficient work delivery.
  • Communication You'll have good communication skills so you can work safely and effectively.
  • Proactive planning Being punctual, having the van and equipment ready and anticipating the needs of the team are essential to keeping our passengers and freight moving.
  • 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.
  • Experience as an arborist

It matters that this is the right role for you

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.


 Driving
  • As an operative you'll also need a driving licence (category B) so you can drive Network Rail vehicles.

You matter to us


Your commitment to self-development and continuous learning is hugely important in this role and we'll provide you with all the training to develop both technical skills and non-technical skills.

If you're joining us from another industry, the structured training will give you the skills and confidence to move into a rewarding career in rail.

Today's technicians are tomorrow's technicians and team leaders, and we offer a clear career path for you.
