Southeastern Railway Recruitment

2007-01-13: Recently advertised job opportunities at Southeastern... Tonbridge Station Staff - Duty Station Manager Conductors When you join us, you'll embark on a comprehensive training programme, consisting of an intensive 13-week conductor-training course, which is divided into two main sections: You'll need to live within a reasonable distance of your depot, as varied shift patterns mean you might be starting work before trains are actually running, so you'll have to find your own way to work. We have depots in the following areas: Gillingham - Faversham - Ramsgate - Dover - Ashford - Hastings -Tonbridge Customer Services Staff As a key member of the station team you'll help ensure that trains are dispatched safely and on time, handle customer enquiries and offer timetable and other information. Alternatively you could be one of our gating staff, verifying passengers tickets and answering queries. You'll be involved in all aspects of customer service, providing an appealing, friendly and helpful environment. This role might also involve some light cleaning duties. Railway Enforcement Officers £17,767 (rising to £19,500 after completion of training, then £22,000 after 12 months) As a Railway Enforcement Officer, you'll provide a reassuring presence in stations and on our trains.

You may also be required to support the Police and the British Transport Police in minor criminal investigations, taking statements, preserving evidence and attending court hearings where necessary. Service Engineers As a service engineer, you'll be responsible for the inspection and maintenance of a huge range of equipment, carrying out routine repairs, correcting faults and undertaking component exchange works. You'll also find your logistical skills put to the test on a daily basis. With a network that covers the whole of Kent and south east London, we need to make sure that the right train is in the right place at the right time. And it's not just the trains either, since our engineers also make track calls when sections of the line become defective Train Drivers Flexibility is also essential, since we operate 24 hours a day, all year round. That means your shift lengths and patterns will vary, including early starts, late finishes, weekends and bank holidays. On the other hand, this can also mean that you may actually get to spend more time with your family. Please note that you have to be at least 20 years of age to apply for a position as a train driver and due to the design of the driver cab, height restrictions may apply. Stage 1 You'll spend two months learning about the cab environment as well as the rules and regulations governing the safe operation of trains. Stage 2 Now you're ready to start traction training, which will cover the appropriate electric multiple units depending on where you're based, and should last for around four months. Stage 3 The next stage is the completion of route learning, which takes between two and three months. Stage 4 Having completed your training and passed the assessments, you'll be a fully qualified driver. Locations We have driver depots in the following areas: Victoria - Charing Cross - Slade Green - Grove Park - Orpington - Gillingham - Faversham - Ramsgate - Dover - Ashford -Hastings - Tonbridge If you are considering a career on the railway and are interested in one of the roles shown below, why not contact us for an information pack and application form. careers@southeasternrailway.co.uk The result of improved trains, stations, customer service and greater security will have a positive impact on punctuality and reliability, and this together with our tough targets in both of these areas, will improve our entire service..
