Rail Infrastructure Worker careers
A Rail Infrastructure Worker is responsible for the construction, maintenance, and repair of railway tracks, signals, and other essential infrastructure to ensure safe and efficient train operations. The role involves tasks such as laying and welding track, inspecting and replacing worn components, operating specialised machinery, and adhering to strict safety procedures.
Rail Infrastructure Workers often work outdoors in varying weather conditions and may be required to work night shifts or weekends to accommodate train schedules. Teamwork, physical fitness, attention to detail, and the ability to follow safety protocols are crucial in this hands-on role, which supports the reliability and safety of the broader transport network.
