Brief Description
You'll help keep our nation moving every single day.
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 if you can demonstrate your transferrable skills and behaviours, we will provide you with 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 career with a company that recently joined the top 50 in Glassdoor's 2021 Best Places to Work.
About the role
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 Overhead Line Equipment. Working with high voltage systems, you'll ensure our railway has the power to run the trains. Working at height is routine, and you'll use various types of specialist tools and equipment to measure, adjust, repair and modify cables and wires that keep Britain's railway running.
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.

6. Willingness to learn: You'll consistently develop your skills and competencies relevant to your discipline.
7. Relevant qualification: You'll ideally hold an NVQ Level 1 or 2 linked to the discipline you are applying for.
