Track Engineer Apprentice Review

Track engineer apprentice. Learning the various parts of mechanical engineering such as mechanical systems, maintaining mechanical devices etc. Which can be applied to a track maintainence job within network rail.

I have learnt many new skills including an understanding of the railways and how it all works.

I enjoy the general experience of living away from home and learning new skills to help me down my career path as a track engineer.

I feel as a track apprentice that I among many others are extremely valued within network rail

The programme is very well structured. In year one we learn the basic skills and then learn to apply them more in years two and three.

There is a good amount of support here from Babcock allowing me to obtain any help I need throughout the course

Although I am yet to experience the employer side properly I already feel as though there is a good support network within the company

I feel like the salary may be a little short of what it should be however it is manageable and the fact that we have food and accommodation paid for makes this a bit easier

There is not a lot around outside of work in terms of opportunities I feel

Yes

It is a good apprenticeship that gives you a lot of qualifications which will help you in the future

Be yourself and prove to network rail that you can do your work and be the best possible
