Network Rail is at the operational centre of the railway and is playing a leading role in a rapidly evolving industry.

Over the next few years we will be spending over £20 billion to renew and upgrade every aspect of an infrastructure that comprises 21,000 miles of track, 2,500 stations, 9,000 level crossings, 40,000 bridges and tunnels, and signalling and power for the movement of 25,000 trains every day.



In order to achieve its goals, Network Rail has created a new national organisation formed around its key asset groups (track, signalling and telecoms, civils, electrification and plant, estates and enhancements). Our Investment Projects organisation (the largest organisation in Europe by expenditure) will deliver over £2 billion of renewals each year over the next four years.

You will hold an appropriate IRSE licence and hold membership of an appropriate institution or experience and qualifications that would lead to holding such membership.
