Every day is different, there are always new exciting challenges we face and being a part of the biggest investment in Britain's railway since the Victorian era, there are even better times ahead.

I would recommend Network Rail to any undergraduate/graduate looking for a Placement or Graduate Scheme. Not only does the organisation open doors to so many opportunities and give you the chance to experience multiple functions and roles

There was a great dynamic and my assignment manager really pushed me to achieve things I hadn’t expected to achieve whilst on placement.

The best thing about working for Network Rail is how much fun I have had with the team I’ve worked in and with the other placement students

The engineering experience I have gained will continue to guide me to become a knowledgeable and valued engineer in the future.

Aasiyah Sidat

I love the fact that I am working in a role I can see myself doing in the future. In my role I also have the flexibility to shadow and learn about other parts of the business and how they work.

Adedayo Akeredolu

Engineering Graduate Scheme

Graduate Job

I started in 2018 straight from university and what my job is, is to essentially learn as much about the railway as possible throughout the graduate scheme.

That means I go on different placements, explore different areas of the company, I meet lots of different people, attend conferences and seminars, begin my professional development and just learn as much as possible so I can see where in the company I fit into and where I can get the most out of my career.

Olivia Woodward

Finance Graduate Scheme

Graduate Job

I’m a finance graduate so I joined the scheme [in 2019] and I’m currently in the cost and volumes team. So we assure and report on the renewals volumes that Network Rail delivers so this involves periodic reporting, reporting to the [Office of Rail and Road] and giving commentary on what the routes and regions have underdelivered, the reasons way… and we try to articulate that to the regulator.
