EMMIS Controller SUP Grade 10 x 3 Roles

The role

We are excited to be introducing an EMMIS Controller into the team.

This is an excellent opportunity for somebody to join our great team based at Ashford International, to operate and monitor the traction and signalling power supply/auxiliary system. You will ensure adequate security of supply is maintained – whilst also ensuring it is consistent with operating requirements and safety instructions (and procedures).

You will initiate the emergency isolation procedure (as required) to make the electrical system safe, whilst also keeping relevant personnel updated on operating service information (this is to facilitate a high standard of train performance).

This role involves carrying out high voltage switching and also providing a safe isolation of plant for maintenance and testing purposes to ensure minimum disruption to services.

This is a permanent position, so come and be part of a truly unique business that brings the UK closer to Europe.

Investing in our people is key to enhancing the safety, reliability, and efficiency of our railway system. If you’re passionate about making a meaningful impact, then this opportunity is for you!

About our people and the recruitment process – We’re an inclusive employer of choice and we welcome applications from everyone! We encourage our colleagues to work flexibly, as we know traditional working patterns don’t always fit. If you want to consider working flexibly, just let us know and we’ll do our best to help and invest in your career with us, whilst you have a healthy work life balance.

We’re also a Disability Confident Leader employer and we’ll try our best to adapt the process and offer a reasonable alternative to help support people with disabilities access, apply and interview for roles.

The person

So, who are we looking for? If you can answer ‘yes’ to the following questions, then we look forward to receiving your application.

Do you have:

• ONC (or above/equivalent) in an electrical discipline? This is equivalent to Level 3 NVQ/ BTEC (please note that this absolutely essential – so please ensure that you do have this qualification before applying)
• Excellent communication skills – with the ability to communicate clearly both verbal & written?
• The ability to react to emergency situations safely and effectively?
• A professional approach (focussed on safety and business improvement)?
• The flexibility and willingness to undertake a variety of tasks (at multiple locations)?

Although it isn’t essential, it would be an extra plus if you had experience/knowledge of working in an electrical switching environment – and if you have a full UK driving licence and some knowledge of railway operations, even better!
