Job Description

In your first 2 weeks you'll be one of 150 apprentices living and learning at Westwood, our world-class training facility.  You'll take on academic study at the same time as working, and complete a series of work-based learning assignments and reports.



Depending on the path you choose, once out in the field you could be designing signalling schemes, investigating loss of power to a substation, repairing damaged track, or developing new telecoms technology, all whilst making sure the trains keep running to schedule.



There's lots to take in and a lot of responsibility to take on.  But by the end of the scheme, you'll be set up for a great future and career at Network Rail.


Personal Qualities :

You need to be a good team player, enthusiastic and have a drive to succeed.



Candidates need to be 18 by 1st October 2017. This is because all apprentices will be required trackside from the outset of their training programme, ensuring we are compliant with Health & Safety requirements and regulations around shift patterns and working at night for under-18s. There is no upper age limit, our oldest apprentice was 37.



Skills Required :

You will have a good understanding of Maths, English, basic IT skills and are committed to further study and learning.  You're safety aware, with strong attention to detail and problem solving skills.  You're happy to listen, learn from others with the confidence to communicate your own ideas and an ability to interpret and explain technical information



Future Prospects : We'll support you with extensive training and development, the opportunity to gain professional qualifications and expert guidance to help you reach your full potential in a rapidly growing industry. You'll have access to state of the art training and development facilities and be rewarded with a generous salary and pension scheme to help you plan for the future.

Choose Network Rail and play your part in the transformation of Britain's railway.
