Network Rail Scotland has announced that it will be creating nearly 200 jobs this summer in one of the biggest recruitment drives in its history.
The jobs will be based around the country. This includes the North East, Highlands, Perthshire and the South West.
Network Rail's roles are now being advertised as they prepare to invest billions in Scotland's railway over the next five years.
Roles on offer include administrative, logistics and planning jobs, technician and team leader roles, construction and project management.
Between 2019 and 2024 more than £4bn will be spent on running and maintaining the country's railway. This means the company needs a highly skilled workforce to help deliver these improvements.
