Thank you for your question. Yes international candidates are welcome, You’ll however need to have the right to work in the UK through either a student or graduate visa etc.

Hi Oludare. Really good question and absolutely we welcome applications from international candidates. Just a heads up that all offers of employment are conditional upon satisfactory completion of Government Baseline Security Standards (BPSS) which include:
A right to work and identity check;
Pre-employment verification for the last three years;
A basic criminal record check for any unspent convictions
National Security Vetting (if relevant to the role) This will include a counter terrorist check in accordance with the Home Office (regulated for the transport sector);
Medical assessment;
Visa application – Network Rail offers sponsorship where the requirements of the Home Office rules are met for a Skilled Worker. Should you require a visa to work in the UK or would like further information, you can visit the gov.uk website for more information;
Drugs & Alcohol test (pre-appointment) for safety-critical roles and sentinel card holders;
