Site Access Controller

We are looking for people who are seeking flexible working patterns and are interested in shift work. This is due to the nature of the work as its continuously moving around the country, so no one week will be the same!

Predominantly most of the work will be over the weekend, running from Friday Nights through to Monday morning. However, we also cover a large number of blockades where a section of track can be completely closed 24/7 for up to 8 weeks, this means more shifts during the week can be offered. So, depending on your availability, you can expect anywhere from 1-3 shifts (10-36 hours) at the weekend, with additional midweek when there is a requirement for it (40+).

Benefits:

Network Rail offers a substantial bonus for shifts worked over Christmas/New Year. Shifts are paid at Double time and come with a bonus per shift worked during the qualifying period (normally around the £400 per shift mark, so can be very lucrative).
Weekend rate on Bank Holidays.
Full pay if the shift is cancelled within 24hrs notice.
Full pay if the shift is completed early.
See parts of the country you may not have had the opportunity to in the past.
Covid-19 safe workplace (work isolated in a cabin signing workers in through a window).
MacRail is part of the Munnelly Group, by working on assignment you also open the possibility to working in other areas of the business such as on construction sites (CSCS card needed) or acting as security (SIA license needed).
