London, Greater London, United Kingdom Network Rail Full time

About Network Rail

We're a company that's on the side of passengers and freight users. Our diversity strategy is Everyone Matters, and by 2024, we'll be an even more open, diverse and inclusive organisation that's better at reflecting the communities we serve.

We want to deliver a railway that's safe, reliable, affordable and provides great customer service to everyone.

Key Responsibilities

As a Technician, you'll work outdoors in a team, supporting essential maintenance to keep the railway running safely and smoothly for passengers and freight users. You'll carry out maintenance, faulting and renewal techniques in the discipline you're applying for.

You'll work in all weathers, 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.

Your Skills Matter

Our Technicians play a vital 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:

  • Technical skills: You'll have knowledge and experience of inspection, faulting, maintenance and renewal techniques in the discipline that you are applying for.
  • Relevant qualification: You'll ideally hold an NVQ Level 1 or 2 linked to the discipline you are applying for, or have achieved an equivalent level of relevant experience.
  • Strong communication skills, both in person and in writing.
  • Knowledge of discipline-specific maintenance, inspection, faulting and renewal techniques.
  • Willing and able to work shifts in all weathers.
