I’m a good quality digger driver, I sae the operative job role and that would be interesting to me however I’m just wondering if there is a role where I’m an operator and also helping out on a digger. I have a background in engineering and diggers so I think I would be great for the role.

Hi,

Network Rail are always looking for skilled people to join the operation. While I am unaware if your specific skill is directly linked to a current position, I am positive if you were to apply showing you have previously put yourself forward for training etc it would be a positive.

I am sorry I am unable to give a full breakdown on the "on track plant machinery" network rail use and how your skills may be connected.

I hope this helped.
