About Network Rail
Join Network Rail - Where People and Connections Matter.
Network Rail owns and operates Britain's railway infrastructure across 20,000 miles of track, 30,000 bridges, tunnels and viaducts as well as thousands of signals, level crossings and stations.
At Network Rail, we're part of a large family serving millions of passengers and freight users throughout the UK every day. Our service impacts millions of people and we strive to become more efficient as we enhance, maintain, and operate our network. We want to help deliver a railway which is safe, reliable, affordable and that provides great customer service to everyone. When you're part of our team, you matter to us, and you matter to millions.

Brief Description
A critical part of the work we do is the day-to-day upkeep of the network. Our maintenance teams ensure that every part of our infrastructure, such as signals and power supplies, or assets such as track and bridges, is maintained and in good working order. Maintenance is delivered 24/7, 365 days a year, carrying out planned works as well as rapidly responding to faults as they arise. You will be based in one of our depots covering defined geographic areas, including Slough, Reading, Swindon, Westbury, Gloucester, Bristol, Exeter, Plymouth, and Truro.

About the role (External)
Your Main Responsibilities will be to:
Work within a team to safely and efficiently deliver maintenance tasks to keep the railway running safely and smoothly for passengers and freight users. The day-to-day role is extremely varied, involving different work sites and types of work, as well as the assets/equipment that are maintained.

  1. Prepare the team's van and equipment (spares, tools, etc.) for the coming shift.
  2. Drive the van to and from the site, ensuring the team gets to where they need to be.
  3. Support the team with manual maintenance activities.
  4. Provide lookout duties when required.

All of the above must be underpinned by safe working at all times.

You will ideally have:
There is no specific prior work experience required. We focus on the right behaviours and personal qualities that fit the work. Keeping people safe on the railway is at the heart of everything we do. Safe behaviour is therefore a requirement of working for Network Rail. You should demonstrate your personal dedication to safety within your application.

What could set you apart:
Demonstrable experience in a safety-critical environment will be an advantage. Ideally, hold (or be working towards) an NVQ 1 (or equivalent) in a relevant subject.

Company

Every day, 4.8 million people use our network. Keeping Britain moving and building a better railway for the future is full of challenges – but also tremendous opportunities.

Your health, wellbeing and benefits

We believe that safety and performance go hand in hand and this doesn't just mean safety on the railway We are committed to the wellbeing of our employees and believe that should come first.

We have a range of benefits including:
  • 28 days annual leave entitlement.
  • A range of discounted offers including childcare vouchers and healthcare offers.
  • Subsidies of up to 75% on rail and underground season tickets.
  • A range of pension schemes.
  • 2 weeks paid reserve leave for our Armed Forces community.
What Diversity and Inclusion means to us

'Diversity' means recognising differences between people while valuing the contribution they make. 'Inclusion' means creating safe and welcoming workplaces with fair cultures that encourage innovative and fresh ways of thinking.

Disability Confident Leader

Network Rail is an accredited Disability Confident Leader. This means, where a disabled applicant meets the essential criteria for any of our vacancies, they will receive an interview.
