[RailGuyy]

Hi Everyone,

Was wondering If anyone has done the DLR “Control Centre Controller” assessment at Beckton and if so how they got on?

Many thanks!

Saw that advertised. I was too late to apply. Did you get shortlisted for the assessment? How was it?

Where was the role advertised?

Yeah was on linkedin and KeolisAmey website, i’ve tried attaching the link but it just says job not found I’m afraid.

I was shortlisted for assessment and completed that this week, so just a waiting game now fingers are tightly crossed!

Its difficult to say how it was. The first test was a scenario based judgement exercise, 25 questions and it had a scenario and you had to rank your responses from multiple choice, 1 being what you would do and 4 being your least likely to do.

The other test was a 12 min thinking test, they gave you shapes and you were given some rules, for example + meant add a side. So if it was a triangle to start, then plus plus the answer would be pentagon. You had to answer as many of them as possible in 12 mins prioritising both accuracy and speed.

Hi everyone,

I had recently applied for controller job for DLR. I am looking for few details which I couldn't find in the job description or through HR or manager.

I need to know what are the contracted working hours. Shift pattern. Also are annual leave rostered.

Thanks.

@RailGuyy is your man. He had a assessment for it and knows about the role. I tried applying but i was too late, so was a bit gutted
