You'll also get the opportunity to get practical experience in engineering and learn new skills like:
• Presentation and design reviews
•Scoping large-scale projects
•Testing and demonstration of compliance with standards
•Supervising track works
•Project managing the delivery of rolling stock, L&E and stations
