IEE and British Railtrack training program: 'accredited by both the IEE...'

This gives some idea of the status of the IEE.

'Graduate Recruitment'

Electrical Engineering and Control Systems
(Electrical and Mechanical)

As well as managing the maintenance and operation of today's systems, our engineers are constantly looking ahead to plan and design the systems which will be needed in the future.

The teams include mechanical, electrical, electronic, telecommunications and control systems engineers. In general their work falls into four major categories:

Control systems - ranging from conventional signalling to leading-edge management centres which are being installed right across the railway network.
Telecommunications - not only the speech and digital links vital to any major business but also the development and application of sophisticated radio systems for controlling trains.
Electrical distribution - the systems which take power from the grid and deliver it to Railtrack's 25kV ac overhead lines and 750V dc third rail traction systems.
Electromechanical plant - a term which covers everything from lifts and escalators to pumping stations and swing bridges, all requiring high levels of safety and reliability.

The Training Programme
Railtrack's training programme is accredited by both the IEE and the IMechE. It normally takes two years to complete, and is followed by a further period of closely monitored development experience to meet the requirements for chartered status. We would expect you to achieve this within a further two to three years.
