Careers with DRS

We believe we are the UK’s best employer and offer a unique experience to all of our employees. We offer something no other rail freight operator can and consistently perform at our best. In 2022 we won our ninth consecutive Golden Whistle Award as the UK’s ‘Best Performing Rail Freight Operator’.

You’ll be working with the best drivers, engineers, controllers and support staff in the industry but you’ll also have access to the wealth of knowledge and experience across the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority’s estate.

We have recently launched a new recruitment website where you can search our vacancies and apply for your dream job.

DRS offers an attractive remuneration package, excellent career development potential, plus company pension and healthcare schemes, as well as generous leave entitlements and relocation assistance (subject to approval).

DRS is a strong promoter of gender, orientation and racial diversity in rail and particularly welcomes applications from members of minority groups. We are also happy to consider applications from candidates who would like to work flexibly.

As a DRS employee, you will join a family friendly employer which not only invests in the country’s most modern and advanced freight locomotives, but also invests in our people.  Starting your journey with DRS is only the start of your career with us, there will be opportunities to progress into other roles, with our overall objective to develop you to your full potential in whichever career route you choose to take.
