ABOUT US

There has never been a more exciting time to join London Overground Rail Operations Limited (LOROL). We have a vision for an even better London Overground network, and we’re working hard together to achieve it. We’re passionate about developing, expanding and enhancing the network, connecting communities across the capital. It’s a rewarding journey.



ABOUT THE ROLE

We are seeking applications from highly motivated individuals who will commit to a future opportunity as a Train Driver based at our Willesden Depot.

Train drivers are required to drive large volumes of passengers safely and efficiently. LOROL has seen customer numbers increase from 80,000 to nearly 500,000 a day with annual passenger journeys at 145 million. This level of demand carries with it a high level of responsibility in terms of passenger safety.

Following an intensive training programme, you will become technically and occupationally competent to drive trains in a safe and punctual manner, dependent on successfully passing the required criteria.

Also key to the role is the ability to work as a team player, communicating with the Control function and delivering excellent customer service skills at all times.



ABOUT YOU

To succeed, applicants will require excellent concentration skills, good attention to detail and the ability to work alone for long periods of time, whilst maintaining focus and awareness.

A proactive, ‘can do’ attitude, coupled with great communication skills are also essential.

Candidates will be required to pass the medical standards for the role including a drugs and alcohol test and will need to live within close proximity to the Willesden depot. Flexibility is required as the role will involve early starts, late finishes, weekend and bank holiday working.



SALARY AND BENEFITS

A trainee driver salary of £26,326 rising to £43,145 after completion of training and circa £55,288 once first year of driving has been completed.

You’ll also be able to make the most of great benefits including a final salary pension scheme and travel discounts plus the satisfaction of making a significant and lasting difference for the network.



LOROL is an equal opportunities employer and we welcome all applications especially from women and black, Asian and minority ethnic groups who are currently under- represented.

Application in - got a message just before this post from a Lorol driver saying this had come out. Be aware they want a CV as well as the form which has to be completed in one go. Best of luck.

does the multiple application failure count at lorol, ie only allowed to fail it twice in a 5 year period? Do they do the group bourdon?

I believe every TOC uses the Group Bourdon.

What stage of the assessment did you fail at previously?

Just to clarify, the application form needs to be completed in one sitting? You're not able to complete part and then return to it?
