Direct Rail Services is a rail company like no other. As a wholly owned subsidiary of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, we operate a diverse range of freight services and occasional passenger workings, and employ 480 people generating a turnover of £70 million. So as one of our ERTMS Operations Specialists, you can expect unrivalled variety and scope for progression – plus comprehensive benefits including company and personal bonuses, a generous pension scheme, 38 days’ leave (including bank holidays), healthcare scheme and salary sacrifice scheme with cycle to work.

At the heart of our European Rail Traffic Management Systems (ERTMS) project team, you will ensure that stakeholders fully understand our operational requirements so that our freight services continue to meet customer requirements. At the same time, you will support locomotive design and modification initiatives to maximise operational effectiveness, review and respond to consultation documents, assist in shaping future ERTMS strategy and liaise with Network Rail on trackside design initiatives. What’s more, you will actively develop ERTMS and risk assessment training courses and operational safety material alongside industry partners, so you will have a vital role to play in reducing hazards across Britain’s railways.

To join us as an ERTMS Operations Specialist, you will require sound driving and driver management experience, plus formal training in traction types and Personal Track Safety. A current Rules and Regulations qualification is naturally essential, alongside an understanding of the Digital Railway Programme and the ERTMS project, and you will bring excellent organisational, interpersonal and time management skills. Finally, it is vital that you share our passion for innovation and continuous improvement, and you will be flexible with regard to your hours and working locations.
