What advice would you give to someone applying to this role?
Do your research on Network Rail. Understand the difference between Network rail, National Rail, Train operating companies (TOCs) and ROSCOs, Rolling stock operating companies and why you want to work for this company. In terms of engineering, Network Rail is primarily made of three functions: Network Operations, Infrastructure Projects and Safety, Technical and Engineering. I suggest that candidates become clear with what each function does and whether it interests them before applying. The Network Rail graduates Facebook Page has a lot of posts detailing what Graduates have been up to so far.
