Come hear firsthand from veterans about their journey working with both South Western Railway and Network Rail, and how they transitioned from the military to the railway industry.
You'll get a tour of the Rail Operations Centre Wessex Integrated Control Centre (depending on operational incidents), plus sections covering Engineering opportunities and insights into roles like Train Driver, Guard, and Rail Community Officer.
During the tour, you will attend a mini careers fair where managers and veterans will be on hand to answer your questions about the different roles and their experiences.
There’s also a chance to network and chat about the recruitment process and interview tips. A light buffet lunch will be provided, giving you more time to connect with the armed forces employee network members.
