Signalling Communication and Electrical Technician

Reference: 7o6sydkebzowa6o73iby

We are seeking a skilled Signalling Communication and Electrical Technician to support the safe, reliable and efficient operation of signalling, telecommunications and electrical systems across a busy rail environment. The successful candidate will carry out planned, preventative and corrective maintenance, fault finding, testing and repair of equipment and infrastructure, ensuring all work is completed in accordance with approved procedures, technical standards and safety requirements.

Key responsibilities will include inspecting and maintaining signalling systems, power supplies, control equipment, communication networks, cables, data systems and associated electrical assets. You will respond to faults and incidents, diagnose problems using appropriate test equipment and technical information, and complete repairs or replacements to minimise service disruption. The role will also involve completing installation, modification and commissioning activities, undertaking functional and safety testing, updating maintenance records and reporting defects or emerging risks. You may be required to work alongside engineering, operations and external contractor teams, provide technical input during projects, and participate in an on-call, shift or out-of-hours rota.

Applicants should have a recognised electrical, electronic, telecommunications or signalling qualification, or demonstrable equivalent experience in a safety-critical engineering environment. Practical experience of maintaining and fault-finding electrical, signalling, communications or control systems is essential, together with the ability to interpret technical drawings, wiring diagrams and maintenance documentation. Knowledge of railway signalling principles, telecoms networks, data transmission systems, power distribution or condition monitoring would be advantageous. You must be safety-conscious, methodical and capable of working independently while contributing effectively within a team. Strong communication and problem-solving skills are required, along with accurate record keeping and a willingness to undertake further training. The role may involve working outdoors, at height, in confined spaces and in challenging weather conditions, so applicants must be physically capable of meeting these demands and hold, or be willing to obtain, the relevant safety certifications and site competencies.
