Signalling and telecoms equipment supporting the railway’s operations is Safety Critical, and the S&T Department operates a Competence Management System to ensure its members only work on tasks for which they are assessed as competent.

​

Volunteers applying to join the department will be asked to complete a skills profile so that their application can be considered fully.

​

Ideally S&T Department volunteers will have an interest in railways and in particular railway signalling, and will also have knowledge and experience in one or more of the following:

​

• Mechanical signal engineering

• Electrical signal engineering

• Mechanical engineering, (including machining, fabrication and fitting),

• Traditional or IP based telecoms
