Common questions

Does Hitachi Rail sponsor visas for its level 3 rail apprenticeships over three years, internships?

Unconfirmed. Hitachi Rail publishes no sponsorship policy for its level 3 rail apprenticeships over three years, internships, so we cannot state a firm answer. Hitachi Rail builds trains at Newton Aycliffe and runs signalling and fleet maintenance operations across the UK. Its early careers pages define three routes precisely. Apprenticeships combine on the job learning, assessments and sometimes formal study with a registered training organisation, and around 5 per cent of Hitachi Rail colleagues are on one at any time, either entering the business or upskilling within it. The published UK example is a Level 3 Rail Apprenticeship based around Manchester and Sheffield running three years across disciplines including telecommunications and electrical, during which the apprentice gains the safety accreditation needed to work on the railway. Internships run up to twelve months for students advancing their studies, typically aged 18 to 25. The graduate route is defined as a structured rotational learning pathway with mentoring and feedback for someone who has completed a degree and is over 21. Hitachi Rail publishes no salary, no application window and nothing about visa sponsorship, and vacancies are filtered by experience level on its own careers site.

Does the pay clear the UK Skilled Worker salary threshold?

What is the catch international students miss with Hitachi Rail?

The early careers page is global rather than British, so its definitions cover Italy, Japan and the US too. UK specifics only appear once you filter the vacancies list by experience level, and the listings are the only place a level or duration is stated.
