- Adapting to challenges, whether that's a sudden fault, a schedule change, or an unexpected issue, and solving it with professionalism.
- Putting safety first at every step, spotting hazards and ensuring a safe environment for you, your team, and future passengers.
Here’s what you can look forward to:
- Visible impact: You'll see the difference you've made every time a train leaves the depot, with interiors that meet the highest standards.
- Skill development: Your mechanical expertise will grow through varied tasks and continuous training opportunities.
- Career progression: The rail sector offers long-term stability and multiple career paths — this role is a strong stepping‑stone for future opportunities.
- Upskilling - We are looking for individuals who would be open to further on the job training to expand their skill set, planned training includes PTS (personal track safety) and basic electrical installation.
- Team environment: Work alongside professionals who take pride in their work, support each other, and are committed to delivering excellence.
- Night shift premium: With shifts running Sunday to Thursday nights, from 8pm to 5am, you'll benefit from great pay rates and a work‑life balance that leaves your weekends free.
- Pride in purpose: Be part of an industry that's vital to the UK, where your contribution helps shape greener, more efficient transport for the future.
