Scotland, United Kingdom GB Railfreight Full time

Overview:

- Get your career on track. _

Thinking of a career change?

Have you considered the railway before? If so, we would like to hear from you and hopefully help get your career on ‘track’. Pun intentional.

GB Railfreight is looking for Rail Operators in Mossend, Scotland, and it may just be the opportunity you have been waiting for

**Responsibilities**:
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, mainly the caledonian sleeper train.

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 by inspecting the carriages 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 and safe to travel.

Qualifications:
If you have never worked in a similar role before there is no need to worry, GB Railfreight will provide any and full training required for you to do the job and do it well. Initial training is a combination of classroom and on the job learning and you will be given full support by an experienced training team.

For your efforts when you are passed competent to undertake the role, you will receive a competitive salary of £37,330 per annum based on a 39 hours contracted week. While training there is a training salary of £21,199 in place until fully competent in the role and what you get in return is a supportive work environment with managers who often go above and beyond to lend a helping hand. Or a listening for that matter. It is this approach that has won GB Railfreight the ‘Great Place to Work’ award at the 2020 National Rail Awards.

And if that’s not enough reason to join us, you will also be able to enjoy the following:
**Healthcare package** - Healthcare cover for a range of operations for you and a partner living at the same address as well as cover for a number of health care facilities for you and your dependents including consultations, scans, counselling, optical, dental, and therapy treatments.
- ** Cycle to work scheme** - Salary sacrifice scheme for bicycle purchase twice a year.
- ** Denplan scheme** - Salary sacrifice scheme for you and your partner.
- ** Online Benefits Portal** - Offering hundreds or discounts at nationwide retailers.

If you’re sitting there thinking ‘where do I sign up?’, there’s only two more questions to answer:

- Do you live within 60 minutes travel time of Mossend?
- Do you have a full UK manual driving licence?
