Railway Engineering Design Technicians provide technical support to engineers who design infrastructure and systems for railways. The engineering disciplines involved include signalling, rolling stock, track, systems, civil engineering, communications, electrification and electrical plant. Some may have a broad skills base and others may specialise in a particular discipline.

It is suitable for learners with no prior experience in their job role, as the apprenticeship includes a taught knowledge qualification and a programme to develop and assess the required skills and behaviours.
