QTS Group

In the lead up to Christmas our offices across the UK have been working hard collecting presents and donations for various charities. They have included: 🎅Cash for Kids Mission Christmas 🚒Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service Toy Appeal 🧑🧒🧒Kidz Klub Leeds 👶The Bwl Baby Bank A massive thank you to all our team who helped organize donations and to all our staff who donated! We love to see everyone getting involved in giving back to their communities.

Very proud to be recognised and to see a mention of the fantastic QTS Rail Skills Academy! QTS Training Ltd | #skills #training #socialvalue

At QTS we encourage our staff to use volunteer days year round but we love to see them getting into the giving spirit around the holidays. They've been working with KIND, Glasgow Children's Hospital Charity, and many more to give back where they can!

"When companies like QTS recognise our hard work, it means a lot."

Following the recent flooding incident at Ulverston on the Lancaster to Barrow-in-Furness line, we have been rediverting the watercourse back to its original flow, using a natural design. This innovation, which is 130m long and 1.2m deep, utilises rock rolls to reinstate the previously failed beck. The protections in place manage the risk moving forward and our team is working hard to ensure this is implemented ahead of the festive period to demobilise the temporary flume.

Some great work from our team in Penrith who recently completed some community work at North Lakes School. They were able to freshen up two classrooms in the school with some new paint! Well done team 👏👏

"The children were so engaged and interested in the work that was being carried out just along from the school."

We recently caught up with trainee Fayza Khan who started with QTS through the Kickstart programme in 2022 during a break from university. Following a successful run on the programme, Fayza was offered a permanent role at QTS as a trainee structures examiner. On her experience, Fayza said: “When I started at QTS, it was the first real chance I had to prove myself in a job that I saw a future in. I asked lots of questions and I did worry that I was being annoying, but the team were really reassuring and said to keep asking as that was how I would learn. “I’d really enjoyed the work I’d been doing with QTS, so when I was offered this job, I knew it was such a good opportunity that I didn’t want to waste it." The railway is often thought of as being a male dominated industry, but Fayza has taken it in her stride. “I didn’t really have any knowledge about careers in the railway before joining QTS and when I first started working on site, I thought ‘wow there is a lot of testosterone here’ but all of the guys were really great to work with. I didn’t have much confidence in myself at the beginning, but I am a different kid to what I was then. “I don’t feel like being female has held me back. A lot of the site team are what I would say are 'men’s men' that, on paper, I don’t have much in common with, but it hasn’t hindered how we work together. We all still get along and have that mutual respect. They respect that I work hard, and I think that that has definitely helped my confidence grow.” #trainee #civils #careers #rail
