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

The team depends on you. You’re the one who shows up first and leaves last, who makes sure the van and equipment are checked and ready for every shift, and who drives the team from site to site. Every day you’ll support your team in maintaining equipment and will provide lookout duties to keep the whole team safe.

You matter to us

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 skills 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.

Working under pressure Working outdoors in all conditions, and with trains passing close by means you’ll need to remain calm under pressure. Following rules and instructions It is important that you understand and respect the rules, but also feel confident to challenge if you see a situation is unsafe. Willingness to learn You’llconsistently develop your skills and competencies relevant to your discipline, keeping up to date with new standards, procedures, and instructions.
