Route Track Engineer Review

Work varied throughout the placement and I was able to get involved in different jobs and meetings to get an understanding on what my team were involved in and work across the business. My weeks were varied as I had many opportunities to travel across the UK to do site visits, office work, inspections, events, etc.

Yes! I had a lot of responsibility and trust throughout the placement. One of my projects was producing risk assessments that allowed me to travel to different parts of the country that I managed myself (travel, time, location). You are treated with the same respect and responsibility as a normal team member.

Completing Network Rail safety courses,
Improving my Microsoft Office skills,
Learning new software's,
Time management,
Professional communication,
Adaptability,
Improving note taking.
You will develop your professional skills and will notice a difference from starting to finishing. A very positive experience.

Everyone in my team were supportive and helpful throughout. Able to get guidance on work and I was never thrown into a job without being shown what to do and got given examples.

The office where I was located was more formal than in comparison to the other offices/DU's but still relaxed enough to feel comfortable. The company is diverse and open to everyone. Feels inclusive.

Really enjoyed it! The work was varied, able to see a lot of the business. Had multiple opportunities to travel to different locations and site visits. Put in with a great team who made me feel comfortable and part of the team from day one. Time on placement goes really fast so ask a lot of questions and put yourself out there to meet as many as people as possible.
