Where do you work?

Track worker - NetworkRail
Their duties may include carrying out maintenance, renewal, installation and inspection of track, tunnels, embankments, cuttings, level crossings and bridges, reporting and clearing potential obstacles, reporting accidents and incidents, and performing lookout and handsignalling duties as instructed.
Workers form small teams and take instructions from a team leader under the supervision of a technician or civil engineer.

Work is carried out on the track in all weathers. Protective clothing is provided: overalls, hard hats, boots and ear protection.
Depending on the location of the track, long distance travel from base could be necessary.

Usually it's just using a shovel to raise the track height to keep it level or to change the sleepers. Nights and weekends are usually defects which are easy, just a lot of waiting around for welders on weekends.

Not a bad job, if you have no grades at school. but if your educated it's much better to start higher up.
There's also.
Foundation Degree in Railway Infrastructure Engineering at Sheffield Hallam
Advanced Apprenticeship Scheme
Graduate Scheme
Engineering Conversion Scheme

The low down jobs are pretty bad pay, but considering how much work and what we do it's not bad. However the medium to high end jobs in the industry are very well paid.
