The purpose of the Foundation and Apprenticeship – Rail Engineering Overhead Line Construction is to train apprentices and upskill the existing workforce to the industry recognised standard of competency at Level 2 & 3 in the rail infrastructure engineering discipline of overhead line construction. The pathways within this framework cover semi-skilled and fully skilled job roles in these areas. Overhead line workers (Level 2) and skilled technicians (Level 3) play a key role in ensuring that the infrastructure systems that make up the overhead line equipment in the rail network are installed to the correct standards to ensure the safe and efficient running of the railway system.
