The Rail Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB) is the UKs independent railway accident investigation organisation. Our focus when we investigate is on preventing a similar occurrence rather than on apportioning blame. We are currently seeking to recruit some new investigators to strengthen our team.

As a Rail Accident Investigator, whenever there is a significant accident or incident on the UKs railways, you may be among the first to respond. You will then carry out a detailed and professional investigation, report upon the factors that led to the accident and make recommendations or improvements in the safety of railways. We have a particular need to recruit investigators with backgrounds in track design and/or maintenance; also railway operations and safety management. However, we are open to candidates from all railway disciplines, or to those with investigation experience gained from another field. It would be preferable if you had a degree in a relevant discipline, but this is not essential if you can demonstrate to us the necessary depth and breadth of experience and knowledge.
To be eligible to act as a front-line investigator you must be prepared to undergo security and health checks. Investigations can involve work in demanding conditions; so we require that you are physically fit. We will provide comprehensive expert training in the skills and knowledge required.
