Technical Officer

Brief Description:

Based at Bournemouth you’ll help keep our nation moving every single day. A critical part of the work we do is the daily inspection of the rail network and plan repairs. As a technical officer you’ll often work outdoors in a small team, inspecting, surveying, and supporting essential maintenance to keep the railway running safely and smoothly for passengers and freight users.

Our Technical Officers come from a variety of different backgrounds, and this might be the first time that you’ve even considered a career in rail. We’re focused on your transferrable skills and behaviours and if you can demonstrate that, then we will provide you with all the necessary training to have you working safely and competently out on the network.

Our technical officers work outside in all conditions, at all times of the year, day, or night. Being safety focused, respectful of rules and a team player will be critical as you’ll often be working next to moving trains travelling at high speed.
