• Information Management (IT) Industrial Placement Scheme

  • World-class information, technology and business solutions are vital to the smooth running of Britain’s rail network. Our Information Management (IM) teams carry out some 150 IT projects every year and provide services to over 35,000 people and over 20 different train and freight operating companies.

    Not only does our IT play a crucial role in the lives of millions of people across the UK by delivering a safe and efficient network, but it also makes a difference to our bottom line. The better our systems, the better our finances, the better our services. Industrial Placement students can play a vital part in these ongoing changes and improvements. This is a golden opportunity to immerse yourself in a national organisation, to work on strategic projects from day one, and to gain an overall picture of the important day-to-day work which Network Rail carries out. The practical knowledge that you build will help you in your degree and, if all goes well, you could be ear-marked for our graduate scheme.

    To be eligible for the industrial placement scheme you must be in your penultimate year in any degree discipline on course to achieve at least a 2:2 and commence your placement in September 2012 for a minimum of 48 weeks.
