Any advice for getting a job within the rail engineering sector (on track)

[KieranAndrew]

I was wondering if anyone had any advice that was or has been in the field, im trying to find work but don't really know where to start so to speak, its not for lack of trying either. Some background. i did a level 3 in engineering and technology in few years back now i have an active sponsor, a valid PTS (ac/dccr) as well as CSCS (all valid till 2028) OLE 1 done track induction and track maintenance. so i think ive got all the basics and i have been employed on the rail in the past but work wasnt very regular. Ive never had a ban and i have a indate clean D&A also.

I was wondering if anyone could point me in any sort of direction of provide some adivice on what to do, i have applied for agencys hit up a few rail companies and ive also joined a professional body. im just not really landing. well anything as it goes. im i doing something wrong?

Have you looked into getting a job with Network Rail on the maintenance side? There is currently Track Technician jobs in the Mirfield, Skipton, Leeds area.

It’s going to be very hard for the forum to offer you advice here. We can only really point you in the direction of the careers/recruitment websites of the various companies (including Network Rail.)

For that reason, I’m going to bring the thread to a close with a note of good luck.
