TFL Careers – Railway Engineering Workshops

Job Description:

Since it opened in 1922, the Railway Engineering Workshop (REW) has historically been responsible for, or involved with, every major overhaul on the London Underground. There is only one REW in existence at London Underground and its function cannot be replicated anywhere else on the network! If successful, you could become part of the multi-skilled teams of engineers known for their particular standard of operational excellence.

Job Responsibilities:

• We also understand that everyone’s career is different, so every apprentice’s journey is unique.
• REW Apprentices will spend year 1 in block release at college, interspersed with targeted placements around the workshops to familiarise them with their future working environment.
• As an apprentice, your 3 year development programme will be made up of various specialised engineering sections and departments, all based in West London, including electrical, electronic, mechanical and the Train Modification Unit.
• Our aim is to equip you with the range of skills and experience you need for your successful career.
• The remainder of the apprenticeship will follow a placement plan, designed, and managed by their Apprenticeship Development Manager, which will ensure maximum exposure to the skills and knowledge that they need.

Job Requirements:

• Applicants with an English Language GCSE at Grade D or Grade 3 will be eligible to apply but will be expected to achieve a Level 2 Functional Skills qualification in English Language by the end of their apprenticeship.
• You are not eligible for this scheme if you currently hold or are working towards a qualification at the same or higher level in a related subject or have already studied content from the qualification for this scheme.
• Please note that you will be required to provide original certificates and/or predicted grades as proof for your eligibility checks.
• You must be 18 years of age by March 2023 to be eligible for this scheme.
