Job overview

Signalling is one of the key safety strategies on our lines, keeping trains at a safe distance apart at all times. Since 1863, we have used signals on London Underground to keep our passengers safe and the trains running on time, and we are currently in the process of upgrading our signalling systems across the network; an exciting time to join us!

What will I be doing?

London Underground’s network covers a vast area from zones 1-9 and 11 different lines. With many interchanges and pressure on our network to be constantly “on”, ensuring our lines are running safely and to capacity is the responsibility of our signalling engineers.

Advancements in technology are making this role increasingly interesting, you’ll be working on one of the world’s oldest transport networks rolling out the most advanced technology, a truly unique opportunity. You may choose to specialise in design, construction or maintenance as your careers progresses.

Where can this career take me?

The apprenticeship is just the start of your career! Upon successful completion of this scheme, you could roll-off into a Support Technician role which could lead to further career development opportunities such as Technical Officer, which is supported by the courses that you achieve during the scheme.

There will be plenty of opportunities and support on your personal development throughout the duration of your apprenticeship. A number of our senior members of staff started off as apprentices and have worked their way up to executive level so possibility will always be at your fingertips. Success has no limits!

Once you roll-off you will be supported and encouraged to work towards the appropriate licences that will allow you to become a member of the Institution of Railway Signal Engineers (IRSE).
