Railway apprenticeships

Budding engineers in the area are being encouraged to apply for Network Rail’s Advanced Engineering Apprenticeship Scheme, which is now open for applications to join the scheme in March 2019.

Network Rail in Wales and Borders is recruiting its largest ever group of apprentices, with seven spaces available across mid-Wales and the Borders for the three-year apprenticeship.

Bill Kelly, acting route managing director for Network Rail in Wales and Borders said: “The people working for Network Rail in Wales and Borders are our greatest asset and central to providing a safe and reliable railway for our passengers every day.

“It is an exciting time for the railway in Wales and Borders.  I urge anyone that has the determination, talent and enthusiasm to work in a role where you not only make a difference every single day but also contribute to building the railway for the future, to join us by applying for the Advanced Apprenticeship scheme today.”

The scheme has been running since 2005, with more than 2,000 engineers completing the scheme.

The scheme is open to anyone who will be aged 18 on 1 March 2019, with no upper age limit.
