Before joining the rail industry Rae started his working life as an apprentice electrician for the National Coal Board. A change in career lead him to gaining his NVQ assessor qualifications (D32/33/34) in 1995.
Around that time he began working on the rail infrastructure undertaking weekend shifts until April 2000 when he decided to work full time on the railway, becoming a SPICOP/Assessor in 2002, closely followed by completing his training to become a trainer/assessor for the rail industry.
Will started his career in the rail industry with TES back in 2014 progressing from the position of Track Operative through to COSS and SPICOP roles which enabled him to demonstrate not only his technical skills but his ability to communicate, lead, and motivate a team.
Following a short time away from TES where he ventured into recruitment for other rail companies Will was tempted back to take on the role of Training Advisor.
In this role, Will is the first point of contact for our customers as he has the responsibility for arranging our Trainer/Assessors time including booking courses and arranging delegates to attend.
Will has recently completed a period of training and development to achieve his goal of joining our team of Trainer/Assessors to allow him to pass on his invaluable skills and knowledge gained on track.

In 2014 he saw an opportunity to join the TES Team, beginning his career with us as an AP and withing 2-years was promoted to the position of Nominated Person within our Isolations team.
George proved himself to be a key member of that team, building excellent working relationships with his peers and management alike. With these interpersonal skills and practical experience George was the perfect candidate to join the Training team when the opportunity arose for him to complete his education to become a Trainer/Assessor.
