As a Network Rail Technician, you will play a vital role in the daily upkeep of the rail network. You will work outdoors in a team, supporting essential maintenance to keep the railway running safely and smoothly for passengers and freight users.

Our technicians come from a variety of different backgrounds, and this might be the first time that you've even considered a career in rail. We're focused on your transferrable skills and behaviours, and if you can demonstrate that, then we will provide you with all the necessary training to have you working safely and competently out on the network.

About the Role

As a Distribution and Plant Specialist, you will work with distribution and plant equipment which is instrumental in powering the railway network. With your willingness to learn, you will develop a huge range of technical skills across a range of manual, electrical and digital equipment.

Our technicians work outside in all conditions, at all times of the year, day or night. You could 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 will often be working next to moving trains travelling at high speed.

You Matter to Your Team

You will be a natural team player; you will also be able to lead the team when asked by the team leader. You will use your skills to deliver work safely and will check the team has the right competencies to meet our strict safety standards.

• Technical skills – You will have knowledge and experience of inspection, faulting, maintenance and renewal techniques in the discipline that you are applying for.

• Problem solver – You will be persistent in finding safe and effective solutions. You will consistently develop your skills and competencies relevant to your discipline, keeping up to date with new standards, procedures and instructions.

• Willingness to learn – You will consistently develop your skills and competencies relevant to your discipline, keeping up to date with new standards, procedures and instructions.

• Relevant qualification – You will ideally hold an NVQ Level 1 or 2 linked to the discipline you are applying for. Or you have achieved an equivalent level of relevant experience.

It Matters That This is the Right Role for You
