Job overview
Our Engineers focus on the assets that form the foundation of our transport system.

The role of a Rail for London Infrastructure (RfLi) apprentice is critical in ensuring the ongoing performance and safety of the Elizabeth line, its stations, and assets.

You will be responsible for maintaining and ensuring our assets are operating at peak performance in order to carry an estimated 200 million passengers per year.

What will I be doing?
Your three-year development programme will be made up of various placements.

Our aim is to equip you with the range of skills, knowledge and experience you need for your successful career.

The work will vary from placement to placement but will be specific to specific disciplines.

You will work with a team of qualified and licensed engineers, who will provide oversight and guidance throughout your programme, teach you the skills required for the role and most of all, share their extensive knowledge and experience.

The work will be split between practical work (competence) and theory (knowledge) throughout the programme, and you'll be expected to produce a portfolio of evidence to demonstrate your growing competence and understanding.

The first year will be generic disciplines across the Elizabeth Line assets for you to gain a better understanding of which eventual pathway you wish to choose.

The pathways to choose from are Permanent Way Track, Telecoms, Electrification or Signalling; your placements will then be tailored to that pathway choice.

Although on the programme you will choose one pathway, RfLi promotes the learning of other disciplines over time to provide you with a more holistic understanding of multifunctioning teams across the Elizabeth Line.
