• Inspecting and troubleshooting station and train equipment
• Supporting fare collection and documenting operational activities
• Operating trains for repositioning and manual movements
• Performing minor custodial tasks with appropriate PPE

• High school diploma or equivalent
• Experience in customer service preferred
• Ability to communicate clearly and effectively
• Comfortable making independent decisions within guidelines
• Familiarity with troubleshooting minor mechanical or electrical issues

• Utilize our structured and supportive working environment
• Steer your career in whatever direction you choose across functions and locations
• Benefit from our investment in your development
• Progress toward supervisory or operations leadership roles
• Receive a fair and dynamic reward package, plus comprehensive social coverage

You don’t need to be a train enthusiast to thrive with us. We guarantee that when you step onto one of our trains with your friends or family, you’ll be proud. If you’re up for the challenge, we’d love to hear from you!
