Non Technical Skills?

[Smudge62]

Hi Folks,

I've been browsing this forum for some months now to gain a base knowledge of the industry and various roles within it, primarily in Network Rail. After many applications and a few interview offers I have accepted one for a Signalling maintenance operative.

Now, I've been aware for some time that the 8 non technical rules are a must for any role but whilst searching I can only seem to find 7 of them? Network Rail have a link to a page but it leads nowhere. It may seem daft but my interview is in two days so thought I would ask if anyone knows so that I may prepare.

I'm happy researching the company, providing examples of my skills and my knowledge of the role itself. Any help is appreciated!

Thanks,

Ben

Many thanks, I've got that. But there is only 7 there, not 8. Should there be any more?

This is what used for my prep, hope it helps

The 8 core non-technical skills are as follows:

Conscientiousness – the ability to work diligently, with a positive attitude and be willing to take responsibility for their own actions.

Relationships with People – the ability to work with others in the team in a positive, respectful and supportive manner; providing support and help when needed and managing conflict when required.

Communications – the ability to communicate both verbally and in written format clearly and concisely and to stand your ground as necessary.

Willingness and Ability to Learn – the ability and motivation to be trained, retain information, apply it in the work environment and learn and develop on the job.

Planning and Decision Making – the ability to anticipate, plan and prioritise activities.

Multi Task Capacity – the ability to successfully carry out more than one task at a time.

Controlled Under Pressure – the ability to cope in emergency or degraded situations.

Attention Management – the ability to remain alert and focussed, to manage distractions, and keep an awareness of the overall situation.

There is a difference with Network Rails NTS and the ones we use at our TOC. We have 7 they have 8.

Its been mentioned before on here.
