Who we are

Join Our Journey – Together we will Make it Happen

Here at Transport for Wales Rail Limited we are preparing for the future. We will be building new stations, introducing new trains, and transforming the rail network across Wales and the Borders. This brings opportunity – for Wales’ economy, and for you.

Our vision is to create a world-class railway that will enable Wales to prosper for generations to come. But achieving this depends on the quality of our 2600+ people and the environment we create to enable them to succeed.

Whether you’re making your first transition into employment or changing careers and would like the opportunity to gain further qualifications without following the traditional educational route, an apprenticeship with us could be just the ticket to help you achieve your career goals and aspirations.

We firmly believe that everybody deserves opportunities to access apprenticeships and our aim is moving towards a diverse organisation at all levels. We want to be fully representative of our diverse communities across Wales.

When you join our academy, you will join a well-established community of apprentices across all areas of the business. You will have the opportunity to:
Earn whilst you learn

• Gain valuable on the job skills and work experience
• Learn from industry experts
• Study towards a nationally recognised qualification at college, university or through one of our trusted apprenticeship delivery partners.
• Be part of our development programme where you’ll have access to a wide range of learning and development resources to help you grow both personally and professionally.

Committed to promoting equality and diversity

We’re committed to promoting diversity in all our activities to promote inclusive processes, practices and culture.

Our partnership with workingmums.co.uk is a small part of what we are doing to improve the landscape of women in Transport.

“I’ve worked in the transport sector for 18 years and I’m extremely passionate about encouraging more women to take up roles within the transport sector in both traditionally male front line roles as well as more leadership and decision-making positions.”  Jo Foxall, Customer Engagement Director at Transport for Wales and Wales Lead for Women in Transport added:

We’re proudly supporting Welsh Government in establishing a new working group to encourage more women and underrepresented groups to consider a career in transport.

Our Flexibility Statement

“Transport for Wales is committed to being one of Wales’ most inclusive employers.  We’re happy to consider flexible working as we understand our employees need balance in their working lives and, based on trust we want them to build their careers without sacrificing their personal priorities.”
