There's no reason why you can't BUT look at the Signaller recruitment process first. Its long and drawn out so be sure you'll enjoy the other role if you're successful. Track maintenance needs committed staff.

Does anybody know what the typical roster is for an 'Off Track Operative' with Network Rail? I think it's a 13 week base roster

There are two parts on the lift counting. The recruitment facilitator will talk you through everything. You get practice runs before the realtime test commences. Don't be afraid to ask for a replay on the tones. Listen carefully to what to do on the second part. You'll be ok on first bit. The...

Did they tell you your score? Sometimes they give you a result if you ask on 0161 261 7594. It might help if you find out because it is clearly stressing you. As JohnFM says tho "IT'S DONE" There are others on here at least that could tell you their score maybe and you'll have an idea where you...

What did your formal offer include? What info did you have to provide? I've had an offer via phone today and said they would e-mail an offer pack, I just wondered what's in the pack and what you had to do besides medical etc.

Hello all, I have received a call today from NR HR and have been provisionally offered a role as an Off Track Operative. Can anybody tell me what the offer pack details and what the next stages are please? I'm presuming a medical plus references but is there anything else? Thanks :D

Hi, What exact geographical area would this role cover please?

Hi all. There are around 50 questions to answer and they surround any previous signalling knowledge to situations where you can evidence communication, team work, dealing with difficult situations and leading a team. I guess they will be looking for some indication you hold the basic skills...

Good luck. Still doesn't mean that we'll get selected for assessment days tho. It'll depend on our scores and percentile I guess. Has anybody had a rejection e-mail about these vacancies if your application has been under consideration?
