Signaller

A Signaller coordinates the movement of traffic in a rail system. You might use electronic methods or rail signals to communicate with train drivers. Signallers may coordinate regular rail traffic or control train movements during scheduled maintenance or during an emergency situation.

Signallers should have excellent situational awareness and must be able to manage several tasks at one time. Communication skills are crucial and you’ll need to be able to remain calm during challenging situations. Signallers must be able to work as part of a team and should be able to follow correct procedures during their duties.
