Responsibilities

What will you be doing?

During the autumn leaf-fall season every year the national network deploys strategic Rail Head Treatment Trains (RHTTs) to maintain safe railhead conditions. As an RHTT operator you will be responsible for the safe and effective operation of these units whilst out and about in the region covered.

As well as being responsible for carrying out additional tasks such as maintaining locomototive cleaning, sanding and readiness, to ensure the depot is maintained.

Safety conscious; As ever, working on locos and associated RHTT units, safety is always the highest priority, so operators must be steadfast individuals complying with safety practices at all times.

Comfortable with shift work; These trains run at all hours of the day, seven days a week and so operators will work a varied shift pattern. An appetite for overtime is also desirable.

Strong work ethic; while carrying out your duties, a strong work ethic is the essential difference between the good operators and the great.

Basic mechanical/technical understanding; as a part of this job, basic fault finding/reporting/rectification will be required. Intuition and ability to follow prescribed processes will be beneficial. Relevant training will be provided.

Ability to sustain concentration for long periods; trains can run for long periods between stops and so operators must ensure enduring concentration levels.

Perseverance and flexibility; as any scenarios can change at a moment’s notice. The ideal candidates can demonstrate any time they have been flexible or persevered to reach an end goal.

Ability to pass industry standard medical; as an operational role in the rail industry you will be required to pass the industry standard medical.
