Guildford, United Kingdom Network Rail Full time

Brief Description

Please note: we are currently recruiting for two Off Track - Technician roles

Do you have experience in civils work, fencing or drainage?

Does your passion lie within tree cutting, forestry, landscaping or arboriculture?

If so then we would love to hear from you, we are currently recruiting for three Technician's to work within our Off-Track team based in Guildford. Off Track are the specialists in maintaining, inspecting and repairing the land alongside the track network to keep the railway safe and efficient. This includes vegetation management, drainage, and ancillary structures. 

Working in all weathers on the frontline, you'll carry out everything from maintenance to faulting. What's more, you'll develop your management skills by deputising for the Team Leader.

You'll help keep our nation moving every single day.

A critical part of the work we do is the daily upkeep of the rail network. 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.

Our Technician community comes 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.

And if you make the grade then you can look forward to a rewarding and fulfilling career with a company that recently joined the top 50 in the Glassdoor's 2021 Best Places to Work.

To be successful within this role you must have experience or knowledge within any of the following areas' tree cutting, forestry, landscaping arboriculture, civils, drainage, fencing or landscaping.

As part of the application process for a Technician, all applicants are required to complete some pre-screening questions. These questions require time and concentration so please prepare for this accordingly, ensuring you read each question carefully before responding.

About the role (External)

Our Technicians provide the essential link between the Team Leader and the team's Operatives.

Technicians specialise in a range of disciplines and for this role you'll become a specialist in  Off Track:

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'll often be working next to moving trains travelling at high speed.

You matter to your team

A natural team player, you'll also be able to lead the team when asked by the team leader. You'll use your skills to deliver work safely and will check the team has the right competencies to meet our strict safety standards. You'll also be a role model for safe working behaviours and be confident to challenge any potential risks to safety, so that everyone gets home safe every day. 

You matter to us

Today's Technicians can go onto become tomorrow's Team Leaders.

Your commitment to self-development and continuous learning is hugely important in this role and we'll provide you with all the training to develop both technical and non-technical skills. If you're joining us from another industry, the structured training will give you the skills and confidence to move into a rewarding career in rail.

Your skills matter
