Graduates to benefit from rail jobs - graduate jobs

Network Rail is creating more than 300 jobs for skilled engineers over the next year - which will come as promising news for engineering graduates.

The roles are being created to help the company improve transport systems in London and enhance services for passengers and freight users across the UK.

Graduate specialists are needed from varied fields including electrical and general project management, civils and signalling to help Network Rail deliver vital schemes such as Crossrail and Thameslink.

Iain Coucher, Network Rail chief executive said: "Creating these jobs and bolstering our engineering talent will help us deliver the better railway that is vital for the economic prosperity of this country. The work they will do will transform how people travel across the capital and make a massive difference to passengers and freight users right across Britain."
