We’re an organisation where people matter. We matter to millions. Everyone matters is our diversity strategy. By 2024 we will be an even more open, diverse and inclusive organisation that is better at reflecting the communities that we serve. By putting our passengers first, our strategy will help us to provide a more accessible and more inclusive experience for you.
Please note: we are currently recruiting for 4 operatives at this location.
You’ll play a huge part in help keeping our nation moving every single day.
A critical part of the work we do is the daily upkeep of the rail network. As an Operative you’ll work in a small team, supporting essential maintenance to keep the railway running safely and smoothly for passengers and freight users.
Our Operative 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.
As part of the application process for an Operative, 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.
You matter to your team
You’ll play a vital role in a well structured team making sure the van and equipment are checked and ready at the start and end of every shift, you will drive the team from site to site, support your team in maintaining equipment on a daily basis 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. Today’s Operatives are tomorrow’s Technicians and Team Leaders, and we offer a clear career path that suits you.
Your skills matter
Our Operatives play a key role in our maintenance teams. You don’t necessarily need rail experience, but you do need to show how your transferrable skills meet the following:
