London, United Kingdom GB Railfreight Full time

The Rail Operator (groundstaff) role is a very hands on job and you will witness countless sunsets and sunrises as you prepare our trains for a timely departure at various times of day and night. The railway never sleeps and there is no such thing as unsociable hours when you are sharing a cup of tea with a colleague at 3AM.

You will be in charge of departing and arriving trains as per our customers’ orders, whether it’s aggregates or container trains or even engineering trains for Network Rail, which keep our railways safe come rain or snow (or autumn leaves).

You will work with a variety of rail professionals, from other Rail Operators to Train Managers (drivers) and Operations Managers. As a GB Railfreight employee you are a part of the railway family and everyone is happy to offer advice, support, share funny railway stories.

In terms of your role, you will be in charge of preparing the train for departure, which means putting it together according to the plan and checking it is safe to leave the yard by inspecting the wagons/containers for defects and faults while making sure all the paperwork is completed. Once that is done you will be able to watch the train roll away in satisfaction knowing it’s in perfect working condition.
