Signalling Technician Current Vacancies
2006-10-30:
Signalling technicians, or signal engineering technicians, install, service
and repair the signalling and control systems needed to run a railway network.
If a fault occurs on one of the systems used for controlling the movement of the
trains, technicians travel to the area to trace the reason for the fault.
Repair and maintenance work is carried out with the use of automated and manual
tools and reference to technical drawings and manuals.
Faulty parts may be replaced, and taken back to the workshop for repair.
Signalling and control systems use electrical, electronic and fibre-optic cables
and operate mechanical, electrical, electronic and computerised devices and
displays, therefore technicians need a high level of expertise.
Most signalling technicians work 37 hours a week.
Shift work and overtime is likely, as work must be completed without too much
interruption to services.
The work is usually in a different place each day. This could involve some
overnight stays.
The majority of work takes place outdoors on the track in all weathers.
It may be necessary to work at heights, and some of the work can be quite
physically demanding.
Protective clothing is always worn. Working alongside the track means adherence
to safety precautions at all times.
Signalling technicians are employed by Network Rail and its various contractors.
There may also be opportunities within underground rail networks.
Modernisation and improvement of safety standards means more recruitment is
expected.
This may include a growing number of apprenticeship places for school and
college leavers.
Promotion is usually from junior to senior technician, team leader and manager.
Senior technicians test and commission new signals installations and design new
installations.
Some people move into telecommunications. Experienced technicians earn between
18,000 and 30,000 a year.
Senior technicians earn in excess of 35,000 a year.
