As a Train Presentation Operative, you will play a vital role in offering a spotlessly clean train and a welcoming environment for all our customers.

On our night shifts, we have two cleaning teams: a Full Clean team and a Deep Clean team. During your shift, we expect you to thoroughly clean our trains to ensure we continually deliver hygienic and functioning trains for our customers. Cleaning activities would include but are not limited to hoovering/steam cleaning floors, walls and seats and windows, touchpoint cleaning of door controls and handrails and don’t forget our cabs to keep our colleagues working environment clean too. The Deep Clean team are also expected to use specialist equipment to get rid of all ingrained dirt from all parts of the train - don’t worry we train you on how to use these.

We are looking for reliable, and hardworking individuals to fulfil this role and you must be willing to work outside, as well as on board our trains, throughout the year. You also need to have a keen eye for detail and be flexible enough to deal with ever-changing demands.

You don’t necessarily need cleaning experience, as we will teach you everything you need to know. Initial training is 1-5 days in the classroom (dependent on location) followed by practical and on the job training with the cleaning team.

If you fancy doing your thing as a Train Cleaner, your greatest strengths will be working in a team to get a job completed together, following instructions and attention to detail to successfully maintain high cleaning standards. We like you to have pride in your work and always strive to be the best you can.
