Recruitment
“Van Elle Rail's approach to working within this unique environment has a definite focus on staff training, innovation and investment in new, efficient, plant and equipment. Although having worked in rail for the past 15 years, our specialist on-track rail division, Van Elle Rail, was launched only 3 years ago and since then, this fantastic team have found much opportunity for enhancement. VER challenge everything with a view to improving safety, efficiency, quality, environmental impact and cost reduction. The resulting solutions are often implemented, saving the client/public purse money, inconvenience and helping to reduce material use and waste in the process; two of the most difficult resources to transport to and from the on-track working sites.
Van Elle Rail's regular communication and close working relationships with clients is the key to success and provides invaluable feedback allowing them to look in greater detail at the unique issues this sector faces, promoting innovation with a view to improving specialist solutions. They are all genuinely nice guys too and are always willing to go out of their way to help other Vanellians and clients.
Quite simply, their objective is to improve quality and reduce risks whilst saving the client money without any adverse effect upon the environment. Added benefits are that it helps to make tenders even more competitive, guaranteeing future workload whilst demonstrating to Network Rail and the wider Group's client base, where relevant, that they are innovators and the kind of team that they want to collaborate with at the early stages of projects… the earlier their involvement, the greater value they can add.
When reviewing existing NR and supply chain processes, there are a number of factors which VE Rail consider in order to add value across the design life of any solution. What has been used in the past and in other UK sectors? What is used elsewhere in the world to achieve the same ends? What is the material usage and sustainability? How easily can it be transported to and from rail locations? Are there likely to be any accessibility issues in the rail environment? What is the maintenance programme like and the product's longevity? Bespoke Vs. generic? Cost? Since Van Elle Rail first implemented this approach to product and process review, Van Elle Group has also adopted it.
The overriding keys to success on the UK’s rail network is practicality, reliability and communication:- something the Rail team excel in with brand new kit, specialist fitters, a drive to succeed through innovation and they love speaking to clients.
Van Elle Rail is consistently the UK’s most successful on-and-off track ground engineering contractor both in terms of growth & profit and we have been awarded many of the largest and most challenging rail projects in the UK. They challenge, they innovate and succeed in order to work fast, work safe, work smart and help improve the UK’s rail network. Van Elle Rail are a fantastic division to work with and contribute greatly to the wider Van Elle Group.“
