About Network Rail
This is a unique and exciting opportunity to join a dedicated team of analysts helping to create the railway of the future.
Network Rail is at the heart of revitalising Britain's railway; from HS2 and Crossrail to major programmes of electrification, we are involved in some of the most ambitious and diverse ventures the nation has ever seen. As the System Operator we are the body responsible for the creation, planning, and allocation of capacity to run trains on the network - helping to deliver economic growth to the nation.
Planning for the future is a top priority - which our Capability & Capacity Analysis Team plays a key role in. As a Network Analyst you will be a central part of the team; if you're an enthusiastic and motivated individual who wants to make a real difference in shaping a rail network ready for the demands of tomorrow this is the role for you.
Brief Description

With a willingness to learn and develop you will acquire knowledge about: Advanced capacity analysis and performance modelling techniques. Signalling systems and railway operating procedures. The factors that can affect network performance and how it is measured. Railway industry planning and operating frameworks. Project management lifecycle.
• How enhancement schemes develop through the investment process.
Using analytical techniques, train planning and performance analysis tools, you will test new infrastructure schemes. Your findings will be at the centre of decisions about how we increase rail capacity. Ultimately, you will help us to make sure more trains and faster services operate across Britain.
You will utilise a mixture of specialised computer modelling software and high-level data analysis to identify viable changes to services, rolling stock or infrastructure. You will help us to develop innovative new processes to improve industry planning techniques.
We don't expect you to have railway or planning experience, but you will certainly need to demonstrate analytical ability, investigation and problem solving skills. Crucially, you will have the ability to communicate clearly and influence people at all levels.
This role requires a mixture of analysis, investigation and problem solving skills, combined with the ability to communicate outputs to a variety of audiences at all levels of the industry.
