The Opportunity

We are looking for a Platelayer to join our Rail Operations & Infrastructure team at Tata Steel in Port Talbot.

This is a rare opportunity to work within a team responsible for maintaining and improving more than 40km of private rail infrastructure across our South Wales sites. Whether you already have rail experience or come from a mechanical, engineering, construction or maintenance background, we'd like to hear from you.

Training and development can be provided depending on your existing skills and experience, making this an excellent opportunity to develop a career within rail infrastructure.

The role is primarily based on a Monday to Friday day shift pattern, offering an excellent work-life balance. Flexibility is required, as the team also supports emergency and unplanned rail events which may occasionally require out-of-hours working.

Key responsibilities include:

Carrying out permanent way maintenance and renewal activities
Inspecting and maintaining track infrastructure to required standards
Using hand tools, power tools and plant equipment (where trained and authorised)
Undertaking lookout and flagman duties when required
Completing work records, permits and safety documentation
Supporting safe systems of work, including risk assessments and work planning
Leading or assisting small work teams as required
Liaising with operational and engineering teams to complete work safely and efficiently

What We're Looking For

We welcome applications from individuals with rail experience or those with transferable skills from engineering, maintenance, construction, or heavy industry backgrounds.

Essential:

GCSEs (or equivalent) in English, Science and Mathematics
Full UK driving licence
Strong commitment to health, safety and teamwork
Good communication skills and the ability to provide clear written and verbal feedback
Basic IT skills, including Microsoft Office
Ability to work safely, follow procedures and identify risks
NVQ Level 2 in Rail Engineering, Engineering, Mechanical Maintenance or a related discipline

Desirable:

Rail industry experience
Personal Track Safety (PTS) certification
Small Tools certification
Plant operator licences
Experience operating equipment such as Excavators, Telehandlers or Dumpers
