      Good pay, friendly staff, great development opportunities

      Graduate project manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good working hours, good development and progression opportunities on the grad scheme, lots of opportunity for funded study, good pension scheme and pay, friendly staff

      Cons

      Lots of travel (could be a pro or con depending on the person and situation - I love it), no benefits outside traditional workplace benefits I.e organised drinks/meals/events, long processes and slow to change, lack of representation and diversity in senior positions

We're seeing really positive changes across the business and it's key that colleagues across Network Rail bring their ideas to this. So please do get involved.
