- Maintaining and servicing our trains to ensure they are safe to go into service for our colleagues and passengers and checking that the train environment is up to our market leading standards
- Ensuring you keep people safe; you will be trained in and follow all the relevant health and safety requirements.
- Responsibility for the fuelling and tanking of our trains to ensure they can go out in a timely manner

We’re also looking for the following:

- Experience in following instructions/rules and regulations, to ensure all maintenance is carried out in a safe manner
- The ability to prioritise and be adaptable when things can change as well as managing your day to day workload
- Showing initiative where necessary, whilst continuing to adhere to our working policies
- The ability to stay calm and to think on your feet, in sometimes challenging situations
- Someone who is dedicated and confident about talking to and building relationships with all sorts of people to ensure smooth running.
