I enjoyed working with Network Rail immensely. The work is really varied day to day, which meant it was always interesting. Being on the internship also meant we went around to the different areas of the business and different teams and gained an insight into their daily work; which means you can make a calculated decision about what you want to do as a career. For example we had placements in two different teams while we were there, for a month each; but also had insight mornings in Property, Financial Shared Services, and Investment etc.
I really enjoyed my time working with Network Rail. The work was interesting and every week I would have days dedicated to either trips up to other Network Rail offices such as the ones in Manchester & Rugby, or talks about the specific roles and departments within corporate services.
Was a bit slow to start with no real plan of what I was there to do but once my manager had changed I was straight into some meaningful work. Network Rail is very varied, always something different to do and opportunities to go out onto the infrastructure and visit different areas of the business.
