Who We Are

Join Network Rail - Where People and Connections Matter

At Network Rail, we're dedicated to keeping passengers and freight moving safely and efficiently across the country. When you join us, you're not just part of a team - you're part of something that matters to millions. We believe that our people are at the heart of what we do, and every role plays a vital part in building a better, more connected railway.

We're committed to creating a diverse, inclusive workplace that reflects the communities we serve. We value flexibility and understand the importance of a healthy work-life balance.

    Specify and monitor control measures where interventions are deferred or require additional risk mitigation.
  • Project Sponsorship
    Support the Route Asset Manager by developing business cases and sponsoring renewal schemes. Work with delivery teams throughout the PACE lifecycle, from feasibility through to handback.
  • Technical Handover
    Ensure renewals are handed over with clear specifications, technical documentation, and maintenance requirements.
  • Accurate Asset Records
