Operations Management Year in Industry

It's not easy getting millions of people to their destinations safely and on time every day, but it is rewarding. Throughout this 12-month placement, you'll learn exactly what goes into achieving this goal.

On our Operations Management placement you'll learn all about what it takes to deliver the operational railway we know today, including stations, signalling, control and incident response.

You'll need to be in your penultimate year at university, and on track to achieve at least a 2:2 in any degree subject.

We're looking for organised, engaging individuals that can get the best out of everyone. You should have excellent communication skills, the ability to adapt to new situations and the confidence to work with people of all levels., We're passionate about developing the next generation of talent that will come into our industry, and that means we'll ensure you're surrounded by supportive colleagues and receive coaching from senior staff.

We invest in our placement students because we believe they hold the potential to become the future of our business. Over the 12-months, you'll get a rounded experience of what it takes to work in Operations Management at Network Rail. Impress us, and we'll consider you for next year's graduate scheme.
