Our team is made up of skilled professionals who ensure everything runs smoothly – from fixing issues to driving and building trains. Safety and efficiency are at the heart of what we do, and we’re incredibly proud of the team that keeps our services running at their best. Whether it’s repairing faults or maintaining our trains, our engineers are the backbone of our operation.
Engineering is central to keeping our passenger services on track, we offer a wide range of opportunities, including planning, modifying trains, technical support, safety, auditing, procurement, quality management, facilities, stock replenishment, fleet refurbishment, project management, and more.
Our goal is simple: to deliver exceptional service for our passengers while making a positive impact on the communities we serve. A skilled team performing regular checks and maintenance is essential to keeping our trains in perfect condition.
We have five Depo’s located in Reading, St Philips Marsh (Bristol), Exeter, Laira (Plymouth), and Penzance. We’re always on the lookout for talented engineers to help keep our trains running smoothly.
Our experienced fitters play a vital role, not only by tackling a wide range of tasks but also by mentoring and supporting new team members alongside our semi-skilled fitters.
At GWR, we genuinely value specialist engineering skills, whether they’re in trains, cars, planes, or any other area. We offer our team the chance to develop their expertise and share their knowledge with the next generation of engineers. In return, we provide competitive salaries and benefits, recognising and rewarding the hard work and dedication of our fitters.
