About the job
50-100%
A construction site in southern Germany, a defective train in front of the Lötschberg tunnel, or a storm in Domodossola? Such events disrupt our plans. But we stay on course – resourceful and unwavering. If you are also storm-proof in turbulent moments and quickly do the right thing, then you fit perfectly into our team.
During the instruction, you will acquire both theoretical basics and practical skills for your future profession with us. Our intensive training, combined with your motivation, prepares you optimally for your new role.
About BLS Cargo
We cannot move mountains, of course. But that’s no problem. Because as experienced alpinists in rail freight transport, we see mountains as a challenge, not an obstacle. We transport heavy goods from the North Sea through the Alps to the Mediterranean, and that is a tricky task. We master it as a team with our around 450 employees in Switzerland, Belgium, Germany and Italy. Our customers are international, our roots local. That is also why it is exceptionally exciting to work for BLS Cargo.
