We give our people the support and training to deliver excellence
Our teams in Barnsley and Falkirk coordinate projects across the UK – delivering rail maintenance service wherever they are needed.
If you’re applying for a role to join our contracting team, you’ll need to have time-served experience on the tracks and hold up-to-date training certifications. During our recruitment process we undertake extensive pre-employments checks in line with our health and safety procedures, including security vetting, drug and alcohol testing and qualification verification.
Recognising that to start your career in the rail industry you’ll often need additional training and support, we actively look for opportunities to introduce trainee positions, and are proud to have signed the Social Mobility Pledge. We also hold the Disability Confident Committed certification, our promise to you that we’ll work with you to ensure we have all the support needed to undertake your role.
In support of our active and veteran service personnel, we’re proud to hold the the Armed Forces Covenant Employer Recognition Scheme Silver Award. Which means we’re committed to treating job applications from ex-forces personnel fairly and without prejudice. Recognising the value of their experience and transferrable skills.
Join a Great Place To Work® and Best Workplace™
Across the NRL Group we asked colleagues through an independent and anonymous survey in 2024 and more recently in 2026, how they felt about working for us. A resounding 95% said they thought it was a great place to work. This honest and confidential feedback earned us the prestigious Great Place To Work® certification™ two consecutive times. When the team at Great Place To Work® analysed our 2024 survey responses against other participating businesses, we were also delighted to be recognised in their Best Workplaces for Development™ and Best Workplaces™ for medium organisations listings, following outstanding feedback from colleagues.
