Dive into diverse challenges faced by our business and help us overcome these, progress, develop and grow our operation. On our 10-week long Network Strategy, Planning & Analysis Summer Placement you’ll get the inside track on what we do to achieve our goals, working alongside suppliers, operators and external stakeholders.

If developing skills and experiences matters to you.

You matter to us.

What you’ll be doing

It’s not easy getting millions of people to their destinations safely and on time every day, but it is rewarding. Throughout this 10-week placement, you’ll learn exactly what goes into achieving this goal.

Our Network Strategy, Planning & Analysis Summer Placement ensures our railways are fit for future generations, by developing your skills in strategy, planning and performance, in order to meet changing passenger and freight needs.

Who you are matters

You’ll need to be in your penultimate year at university, and on track to achieve at least a 2:2 in any degree subject.

We’re looking for organised, engaging individuals that can get the best out of everyone. You should have excellent communication skills, the ability to adapt to new situations and the confidence to work with people of all levels.

What you’ll get out of it

We’re passionate about developing the next generation of talent that will come into our industry, and that means we’ll ensure you’re surrounded by supportive colleagues and receive coaching from senior staff.

We invest in our summer placement students because we believe they hold the potential to become the future of our business. Over the 10-weeks, you’ll get a rounded experience of what it takes to work in Network Strategy, Planning, and Analysis at Network Rail. Impress us, and we’ll consider you for next year’s graduate scheme.
