If making an impact matters to you.
You matter to us.
What you’ll be doing
Working with our world class Projects and Business Change Management team, you’ll play a hands-on role in delivering the next generation of safer and better performing railways. With many important projects being deployed all across the business, you could find yourself working on Engineering Assets, Safety, Environment or Information Management.
Wherever you’re placed, you’ll gain valuable experience in delivering projects on time, on budget and to a high quality, as well as managing risks. You’ll also build relationships with stakeholders throughout the business and wider industry and deliver business changes throughout our different regions and routes.
Who you are matters
You’ll need to be in your penultimate year at university, and on track to achieve at least a 2:2 in any degree subject.
We’re looking for curious, self-motivated individuals with a strong work ethic and the ability to identify unique approaches to how we work. You should have an eye for detail and the ability to approach complex problems pragmatically. Other qualities we’d like to see are:
- Great organisation skills
- Good teamwork
- Good relationship building skills
What you’ll get out of it
We’re passionate about developing the next generation of talent that will come into our industry, and that means we’ll ensure you’re surrounded by supportive colleagues and receive coaching from senior staff.
We invest in our placement students because we believe they hold the potential to become the future of our business. Over the 12-months, you’ll get a rounded experience of what it takes to work in Project Management at Network Rail. Impress us, and we’ll consider you for next year’s graduate scheme.
We matter to millions. You could too.
