What advice would you give to someone applying to this role?

Be as thorough as possible about previous experience and be sure to excel in the video interview as this tends to be the stage when most candidates are knocked out of the final rounds of the process.

Do you have any interview tips?

The interview throws up some unexpected questions e.g. they expect you to have a good understanding of railway safety and procedures which isn't that obvious when applying.
The group assessment didn't seem particularly well run but be sure to contribute enough to make your voice heard. Unfortunately, most groups suffer with having people who want to take over the whole thing and not give others the chance to speak.
