Over the weekend, a team from QTS took part in Tough Mudder Scotland, helping to raise money for the Glasgow Children's Hospital Charity and the British Heart Foundation.

The team had great fun getting involved in all the different obstacles and getting muddy along the way.

Keep an eye out for another team of challengers who will be taking on Tough Mudder Yorkshire in July!

Some of our teams recently attended North Lakes School, where we removed damaged and unused raised flower beds to create more space for outdoor learning and socialising for students.

Despite challenging access, with works carried out through a classroom, our operatives removed the beds by hand and cleared all debris safely.

A fantastic result for the team, helping to create a more open, usable space that the school can enjoy for years to come.

Last week we held our Scotland Civils safety stand down.

Staff members heard from Scotland's Railway, health and safety, occupation health and fantastic guest speaker John Hartson offering advice on coping with illness and addiction.

They also took part in team building and behavioural science sessions to look at how we operate safely and efficiently.

We recently welcomed students from St John Ogilvie High School, to our Rench Farm HQ as part of the GROW Project.

QTS continues to work in partnership with DYW Glasgow to support young people in gaining valuable insight into a range of industries and experiencing real-life work tasters.

During their visit, students had the opportunity to meet members of our team including Jane McFadzean (Social Value), Keith Lyall (HSQE), Cayleb Stuart (Trainee Civil Engineer) and Cameron Couston (Environmental).

The session included a site visit around the Rench, a mini-induction, and hands-on STEM activities designed to showcase the breadth of career opportunities available.

We recently completed a week of vegetation management works in Appleby on behalf of Network Rail.

Using specialist equipment, including a 30m articulated crane with grapple saw and RRV Excavator with Tree Shear, our team safely removed roadside Ash trees affected by Ash Dieback and reduced trackside conifers encroaching into the railway’s safe clearance zone.

The project was delivered with safety, environmental responsibility, and consideration for residents at the forefront throughout.

Over the coming months, QTS will be taking on the Tough Mudder UK challenge again in Edinburgh and Skipton.

This year, we will be supporting the British Heart Foundation and Glasgow Children's Hospital Charity.

Hannah and Glynn explain why these charities are so important to us and how you can help us achieve our fundraising goals.

Our Future of Rail event invites school pupils, young professionals, and job seekers to explore the rail industry at an individual level, helping them understand the different opportunities and routes available to them.

Last week, we welcomed over 400 eager attendees to our Rench Farm headquarters, where we hosted a range of activities and workshops. These included plant machinery and survey equipment showcases, STEM workshops, and a networking hub with supply chain partners for our day two visitors.

George Bream, a teacher from Loudoun Academy, said of the day:

“This event is something that I can’t explain to my students through a presentation in my classroom, it gives them context to the jobs available.”

Don't forget, QTS offers early careers opportunities in a variety of fields.
