Swietelsky Construction is an Austrian Company, mainly involved in Track Renwals work. The UK equivalent company is SB Rail. Which is a subsidiary of Babcock Rail, who have Track Renewal contracts in the UK. The SB part being Babcock and Swietelsky UK.
Train Drivers will be for moving and probably operating the extensive fleet of On Track Machines. The train drivers will need all UK train driver credentials, as well as route knowledge, which could probably be extensive, since SB operate on a UK basis.

Many have used this pathway as a way into driving grades, worth considering.

and possibly moving machines from one place to another (i.e. main line running).

The depot is based in Guide Bridge, Manchester but the work is UK wide. One of the better OTM companies

Yeah but surely that would mean you would still need to report to the Manchester depot on a regular basis

Sounds like the potential for a lot of travelling. Would be nice to know the salary..

Anyone heard anything from this yet? Was on and off in no time at all...

Nothing yet, not sure whether the swiftness of taking the job down was a good or bad thing. Waiting game now I guess

Yes it's a little worrying, I'm sure the advert originally said the closing date was 29/02
