MOM courses regularly have people do PTS week one, COSS week two. As COSS is required for child competencies. Some of those undertaking a MOM course may have never been on the railway before.
Incident Controllers and Train Running Controllers are recruited for externally, the most recent ROCs to do this are Basingstoke and York plus Derby.
As LOM mentioned they are hard to get externally and most times it’s people who have worked with a TOC, getting the TRC roles. IC slightly easier...
Not sure regarding the TDA roles, I’ve never been one.
I am sure like most jobs nowadays, that there would be some form of online test to sift before hand, if not then a straight interview!
Within signalling centres you would typically find:
Signallers
Shift Signalling Managers
Train Delay Attributors
If you didn’t want to go for signalling roles (no reason why not, a lot of requirement is done externally for these roles now), a good place would be as a Train Delay Attributor...
As Godfreycomplex mentioned it’s a role specifically managing MOMs. I had 33 in total including Crossing Keepers but within my patch there was 2 x LOMs covering two sides of an IECC and another 2 x LOMs covering signallers and MOMs at two smaller IECCs.
Second best job I ever had and I regret...
I’m exactly the same, been out since 2015/16 but I feel it’s important to do my part. Even though I’ve been out since 15/16 (worked 5 panels at my old box), I went to a route control and then a LOM response (again trained in a workstation for contingent signalling), I now work for a different IM...
Evening,
Rare opportunity has opened up with 5 x vacancies on the ERU. These are the guys and girls who respond to a variety of railway incidents, not limited to LUL but all modes of TfL inc DLR and provide mutual aid to Network Rail.
Responding to things such as fatalities and derailments...
The role is a fully licensed drivers job. Operating the rail head milling machine and mobile maintenance trains.
From reading, majority of work will be within the central operating section and not the NR portions.
Good opportunity & also wouldn’t worry about the 5 years, if GBRF lost the...
Evening,
For those of you interested, Crossrail is recruiting for the role of Traffic Manager. It encompasses the traditional roles of a Signaller and Electrical Control Operator.
You would be multi skilled in both roles (one of the only jobs, where you are trained in both in the UK) and would...
Higher than average considering your experience.
Tips - use STAR method, highlight areas of leading, incident response plus any of the key things listed on the advert.
Another thing you may find is that they await for the group activity to be done, then do a base score that they work out from the average scores. Happens a lot with psychometric testing.
It is a control room job, you would be monitoring the infrastructure via various systems and reporting it to staff outside so they can take corrective action.
When I say maintenance thats because you usually have two departments on the railway which are Ops and Maintenance.
More then likely havent had the right people apply.....? Isnt that shocking for a job to go up multiple times, theres a minimum of 7 RTIMs.
Its more of a maintenance job, so previous maintenance experience would be really handy.
No criteria.
30% is on top of the base salary offered, however you will not automatically get this from the start. It'll be at the end of when your training finishes that you'll get the enhancement.
Shift wise will be an early, late, night and 12 hours at the weekend. Subject to change...
