Network Rail is to take on hundreds more staff to work on key projects across the country.
There could be opportunities for those looking at graduate engineering jobs as the company looks to employ 300 people to work on schemes such as Thameslink, Crossrail and Reading.
The projects are aimed at improving services for both passengers and freight users.
Network Rail will be looking to take on people across a variety of specialisms in the next 12 months including signalling, civils, electrical and general project management.
Iain Coucher, Network Rail chief executive said: "Creating these jobs and bolstering our engineering talent will help us deliver the better railway that is vital for the economic prosperity of this country. The work they will do will transform how people travel across the capital and make a massive difference to passengers and freight users right across Britain."
