Graduate Scheme

Network Rail is creating a railway for the 21st century; will you join us and say: "I did that."

The future of Britain’s railway is our responsibility and it’s one we’re taking very seriously.

With the investment of billions of pounds in infrastructure and project work – and the attraction and recruitment of Britain’s very best talent – we’ve achieved an enormous amount since we formed in 2002. Train punctuality is at its highest for seven years and rail travel is now the safest form of transport in Britain. But to realise our vision of becoming a world class company means there’s a lot more challenging work to come. If you want to look back on some of the UK’s most groundbreaking, high-profile projects and infrastructure with your own stories and a real sense of pride and satisfaction, Network Rail could be just the place for you.

There are over 33,000 people in our business determined to continually improve safety, efficiency and reliability for the 2.75m people who travel on our network every day.

As one of our new graduates, you’ll have an important part to play in shaping our future.

We’re extremely ambitious and constantly evolving, so we’re looking for self-starters who are ready to play their part in the landmark projects we’ve got on the horizon including the Thameslink and King’s Cross projects. Plus, in enhancements alone we’ll be spending £2.4bn over the next two years – which means plenty of exciting opportunities for you. Join us in delivering great projects and you’ll soon find there’s more than just overwhelming pride up for grabs – it’s truly a job worth doing. On our graduate scheme website, you’ll find profiles of grads explaining how they’ve tackled particular projects. Whilst their stories are by no means an exhaustive view of the work you could be doing, you’ll hopefully get an insight into who we are and how we like to do things. All of which should get your brain ticking – imagine what you could achieve with us… your skills within our ever-changing environment.
