Career Change in Track Construction

About the job

50-100%

If you work outdoors and want to make a difference, you are in the right place with us. Together, we maintain tracks, switches, and construction trains – for safe and punctual journeys. Do you have a technical or craft apprenticeship? Then you belong with us.
You are part of a team that gets stuck in, takes responsibility, and knows that without you there would be no railway. With us, the next step succeeds – training as a driver for construction trains.

This awaits you:

• After completing training, operate construction trains in maintenance and construction site operations and ensure safe journeys

You bring with you:

• Professional experience in construction, crafts, metalwork, or a technical environment

• Willingness to work night and weekend shifts (around 40–50%)
• Driving licence category B
