GTR

Have you thought about working for the railway?

Want a solid career?

Rail is a fantastic industry to work in, offering real career development and opportunities.  We’re passionate about having a diverse workforce. We want enthusiastic individuals with great interpersonal skills from all backgrounds to apply for this position and particularly would like to hear from women and those from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) communities.

Our goal is to build a culture where we attract, develop and retain talent that is truly representative of the communities we serve, where all colleagues can thrive and be themselves at work, and where everyone feels welcomed, valued and safe.

GTR are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all suitably qualified persons regardless of their race, sex, disability, religion/belief, sexual orientation, gender identity or age.

We are currently looking to recruit Shunters for current and FUTURE vacancies at our Brighton Depot.  This is an operational role which requires an awareness or experience of a safety critical role, particularly as situations can change at a moment’s notice so you will also need to be alert and meticulous to detail.  You should have clear verbal communication as radio use is constant.

What we can offer you:

  • Final salary pension
  • 24 days holiday plus bank holidays
  • Free travel on GTR and sister groups for you and your family
  • 75% off travel on other train operating companies for you, and leisure for your family
  • Discounted Oyster Card
  • GTR offers maternity, paternity and adoption leave and time off for prenatal care, as well as shared parental leave – all part of our commitment to family friendly policies
  • StarHub – our great benefits package which, for example, includes discounts with many retailers.

Please refer to our Job Profile for a full job description of what is required (NOTE: this role is 90% shunting) and the Safety Critical Requirements prior to applying.

Note:  There is a limitation on the number of applicants for this position and the vacancy will automatically close when reached.
