    A career as a signaller

    Thanks for the replies... I'll have another go, I guess I might have to do it all again. The jobs page seems to be down at the moment when you log in which is a tad annoying.

    A career as a signaller

    Good morning, I'm hoping someone have a bit of knowledge about how Network Rail applications work. I was just filling out an application for a Signaller post and I had a 70 question test to fill out. I completed the test and clicked Submit Test but there was nothing that made it clear if...

    A career as a signaller

    I just saw some grade 2 jobs advertised for Cardiff, I've already applied for a grade 4 (most likely grade 4 based on the salary). Would anyone be able to explain how a grade 2 would differ from a grade 4? I'll probably apply for them as well.

    Thank you, it's a good thing that using Google isn't one of the 8 core nontechnical skills. :D

    Signaller Jobs

    Thanks! My fingers are well and truly crossed. One thing I've been wondering... I have the Signaller Recruitment Information Booklet and in it, it says 'see Part 3 FAQs for details of the 8 core nontechnical skills'. There is no Part 3 in the booklet and no FAQs. So what are the 8 core...

    Signaller Jobs

    Hello, just a quick question. I recently did the assessment. I've received an email saying that I've passed. Do you know if that means that I've benchmarked or does it mean that I benchmarked and I've been shortlisted for the next stage? Thanks!

    Can anyone give me an idea of what the map search task is like in the assessment? I have an assessment next week. I've been practicing by searching for place names on road maps and searching for tube stations on tube maps. I was just wondering what sort of format the map search takes, are...

    A career as a signaller

    The salary for the Signaller post I've applied for is approx £31,000. Any idea what grade that would be and what one could expect from a Signaller post that is that particular grade?

    Signalling School York 13th June 2016

    Interesting. Just out of interest do boxes or posts ever get regraded? If you're working somewhere where there is an increase of traffic for instance. I'm currently working for a local council and the thought of possibly working for an employer that isn't having their budget continuously cut...

    Signalling School York 13th June 2016

    So what is the significance of the grades? What sort of responsibilities would a grade 5 have that a grade 1 wouldn't. Is it based on skills and responsibilities or is it partly based on years spent in a particular post?

    Thanks for your responses. Aside from the initial training is there also a lot of job shadowing beforehand?

    Signaller Job - the good bits and the bad?

    It's for a Signaller in Cardiff. Well I am used to working with lots of people but that doesn't mean that it's the be and and end all for me. I'll be honest I applied on a whim because it appealed to me at the time. It still appeals but I can honestly say that it's not a job I've ever thought...

    Signaller Job - the good bits and the bad?

    Hi, I recently applied for a Signaller job. I've read quite a lot of positive opinions about the job but I've also heard that it can be a bit boring at times. I'm very much used to working with lots of people, lots of members of the public which can always keep things interesting which seems...
