What if your next role actually made you excited for Mondays?

At Siemens Mobility, we believe our people are the cornerstone of our success. We are committed to nurturing a supportive and inclusive environment where every team member can thrive. Join our global community, where your growth and development are as important as our shared mission to innovate and transform the Rail industry.

At Bedford Cauldwell Depot, Siemens Mobility is responsible for the maintenance and servicing of the Class 360/1 Desiro fleet. The depot plays a vital role in ensuring the reliability and operational readiness of these trains for passenger services.

We are currently seeking skilled Maintenance Technicians to join our Rolling Stock team at the Bedford depot. In this role, you will perform preventative maintenance, conduct fault diagnosis, and carry out essential activities to support the smooth operation of the Class 360/1 Desiro trains. As a Maintenance Technician, you will have electrical and mechanical background and experience of fault diagnosis. Rail experience is not essential as full training will be given.

This is a shift-based role with 12-hour shifts, including a mix of day and night rotations. Due to the nature of the schedule, you must reside within a 1-hour commuting distance from Bedford.

You’ll make a difference by …

  • Undertake maintenance and repair of the allocated rolling stock to meet the requirements of the production plan.
  • Carry out download diagnosis and fault finding to an advanced level.
  • Produce complex, analytical technical reports on fault investigation.
  • Assist other team members with the development of technical skills.
  • Specialise in areas of technical expertise.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
