Site Access Controller

7 months ago


Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom Macrail Systems Ltd Full time

Due to continued growth MacRail are recruiting for Railway Site Access Controllers (SAC) to start work on railway engineering sites in Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear and the surrounding areas.

MacRail is the market leader in the Site Access industry, operating nationally with lots of work on offer.

We are looking for people who are seeking flexible working patterns and are interested in shift work. This is due to the nature of the work as its continuously moving around the country, so no one week will be the same

Predominantly most of the work will be over the weekend, running from Friday Nights through to Monday morning. However, we also cover a large number of blockades where a section of track can be completely closed 24/7 for up to 8 weeks, this means more shifts during the week can be offered. So, depending on your availability, you can expect anywhere from 1-3 shifts (10-36 hours) at the weekend, with additional midweek when there is a requirement for it (40+).

The location of the work can vary each week as the works progress and moves up/down the track, so you will need a driving licence, have access to a car and be prepared to travel up to 60 miles. This means you get to visit some beautiful places along the way, and if you do not mind staying in accommodation, you can further increase your opportunities for additional work. In such cases MacRail will provide the accommodation and can supplement any additional travelling costs by increasing the hourly rate.

**Benefits**
- Network Rail offers a substantial bonus for shifts worked over Christmas/New Year. Shifts are paid at Double time and come with a bonus per shift worked during the qualifying period (normally around the £400 per shift mark, so can be very lucrative).
- Time and a half on Bank Holidays.
- Full pay if the shift is cancelled within 24hrs notice.
- Full pay if the shift is completed early.
- See parts of the country you may not have had the opportunity to in the past.
- Covid-19 safe workplace (work isolated in a cabin signing workers in through a window).
- MacRail is part of the Munnelly Group, by working on assignment you also open the possibility to working in other areas of the business such as on construction sites (CSCS card needed) or acting as security (SIA license needed).
- Pathway leading to working on track by gaining railway experience.
- Flexible working
- Shifts allocated within a comprehensive fatigue management system.
- Accommodation provided (if necessary).
- PPE Provided.
- Bonus opportunities for coming top of the League Table.
