Outstation Technician - Three Bridges, Crawley

We’ve got ideas to improve the way people travel. Can you help us bring them to life? Join us as an Outstation Engineer and help improve our Thameslink service.

We are providing both rolling stock and signalling solutions with brand new state-of-the-art Desiro City trains encompassing advanced systems both on and off train; as a result of this we have created two brand new depots to maintain the new fleet of trains in Crawley and North London. We have a team of Outstation Maintenance Engineers, responsible for ensuring maintenance requirements are supported at various locations up to Bedford, Kent, through central London and great Northern routes to Cambridge and Peterborough.

As an Outstation Technician, you will have electrical and mechanical background and experience of fault diagnosis. Previous rail experience is greatly preferred, however we will still provide you with full training. You will work out of the many remote outstation locations, across the sussex and Kent areas, but your base location will be in Three Bridges, Crawley.

This is a shift based role where the working pattern consists of permanent days/nights.

We will also require you to complete some mandatory online testing for this role as part of the interview process.
