You’ll manage train movements across your area and respond to what’s happening in real time. Your work could include:
- Controlling the safe movement of trains
- Communicating with train drivers, controllers and maintenance teams

- Keeping accurate records, logs and reports
- Staying focused during routine operations and high-pressure situations

Role & responsibilities
We use a grading system (Grades 2-9) to differentiate between our Signaller roles as the operational complexity varies significantly between different signalling locations.
Lower graded roles are typically located in smaller signalling locations with less complexity and frequency of train movements. This could mean working on rural, branch or simpler suburban areas with fewer routes, points and signals. The level of responsibility and core signalling skills remain high, but the pace of work can be less intense with simpler panels and signalling equipment involved.
