Who Should Apply Tube Lines is looking for bright, ambitious engineering graduates to join our Mechanical Engineering Department. We’re looking for people with a passion for achievement, who can demonstrate leadership, team commitment, integrity, innovation, drive… people with a restless desire to make things happen and are keen to develop their career in a wide range of challenging projects. The Company’s Role Over the next 30 years Tube Lines will be working on maintaining and improving the Jubilee, Northern and Piccadilly lines. We are looking to develop a new generation of engineers to bring fresh ideas and enthusiasm to one of the oldest transport systems in the world. A transport system which has been serving London for nearly 150 years presents unique and complex challenges for our engineers to tackle as we strive to make a positive impact on millions of passengers every day. The Graduate Programme The graduate programme begins with an induction, which will introduce you to the Tube Lines organisation, our culture, and our vision and values. We offer two years of structured development consisting of a series of placements, which normally last between three and six months. These are specifically designed to provide exposure to a variety of projects, so that we can offer the best opportunities for your development. Two examples of projects on which recent graduates have been engaged are: Rolling Stock A presentation was made to London Underground regarding tests carried out on the Piccadilly Line trains' braking system. This included investigation into their stopping distances. As the existing contractors for making the equipment could no longer be used, a technical review was undertaken to define exactly what was required for sourcing new providers. Assurance 7th Car Jubilee A communication regarding the change to the infrastructure of the stations was written by the graduate. This covered details regarding platform edge doors and other technical specifications. In order to do the alterations, a Possession Plan (when engineers were allowed to work on the station) was drawn up, so changes could be carried out without disrupting running the trains. Career Development To assist your progress on both the work and academic front, you will be assigned a mentor experienced in Mechanical Engineering. Tube Lines will enthusiastically encourage and support you in your achievement of further professional development. Regular performance reviews and quarterly reports will monitor your progress and ensure the training is of positive benefit to both you and the business. There are also opportunities to meet up with other graduates at a formal quarterly forum, where senior managers from across the business make themselves available to answer questions. What Happens At The End Of The Scheme Whilst you may already have an idea of the specific area in which you would ultimately like to specialise, the scheme gives you the opportunity to experience different aspects of engineering work which may affect your decision. During your final six months on the scheme you will consolidate your work experience and professional development. You will discuss with your mentor and agree on the best placement to continue your career with Tube Lines.
