Used to be easy enough if you asked nicely and knew the right people, I was offered a ride on it years ago but unfortunately if I remember rightly on the occasion in question I'd have had to sort myself out from somewhere like Tyne Yard and I'd got to get back for work!

Has anyone who’s applied for this heard anything back yet?
I’ve had an email to say they’re reviewing applications but this was almost 2 weeks ago now.

I've applied several times to Colas in the past and this is the only time I've ever had a response to my application. Seems positive they wish to communicate with applicants, even if unsuccessful.

This Job advert closed ages ago. Colas also as advertised for street to seat drivers around York.

Only at the start of April. I received an email stating that they my application was still under review, similar to that in post #63. Had absolutely nothing since.
Yea same here. Who knows lol! We may or may never hear something.
Just to let people know, I've received an email today to do an online assessment, so there is officially movement now
Yes I also received the same email today. First time for me doing this type of test.
Me too. Haven't started it yet as bogged down with reports from current work, going to give it a crack tomorrow?
Have you done it yet? And good luck!

I did the Arctic Shores Online Assessment today. There were 8 tests/games to measure different abilities. Some games are against the clock and others you can take as long as you like to answer. There are no right or wrong answers, just go with your instinct. The facial expressions assessment was a little strange with AI generated expressions.
Immediately after completion, I received my results in a Psychometric Feedback Report.

I still haven’t received my email from Arctic Shores. Has everyone else received theirs?
Did you get an email from recruitment. This was to inform you that you would be receiving the Arctic Shores email. However I actually received the AS email 24 hours before the one from Colas recruitment ♂️

Yes, received an email from recruitment yesterday advising I have been progressed to the next stage. Never received any correspondence from Arctic Shores
Check your spam/junk folder as they did say it could go into there or ping them an email.
I have had to do that artic shores test twice for 2 separate trainee roles within Colas. I completed them both within 24 hours of each other and got 2 totally different results. It all depends on that Colas are looking for. But at least there is a date on the email so we will know by then if we have progressed to the next stage.
Did you do the test on a PC/Laptop or on a Phone/Tablet?

I did it on a Laptop. I think it is one of the requirements to do the test on a PC/Laptop because you have to use the SPACE bar and keys Q an P for some tests.

Nothing yet, still waiting
I’ve heard nothing back for IM, the freight job shortlists have already been done. Even if you’re unsuccessful you will get a email informing you.

Not had any news about Arctic Shores Test results, but I did get an email from Colas Rail a few days ago. It was just an enquiry about my application and my location, so it seems like they are currently looking at the applicants.

Does anyone know if this position is/is likely for a certain class/division of the IM fleet? Obviously the NMT is one set in the fleet, but could they say later down the line, this position is actually for a tamper driver e.t.c?
And does anyone have an idea of the training schedule?
Thanks!

Ah ok thanks, so what tractions/classes/sets could be open for this recruitment?
I've seen they are looking for drivers ar rugby and Tonbridge but the Tonbridge one says its for the west midlands, I know a few people have said its a mobile job but seems odd to be based at Tonbridge for the west midlands so I assume you'd need to be based near the west midlands?
