Join the Future of Rail Manufacturing in Queensland
Downer Rail & Transit Systems is entering a new phase of advanced manufacturing and is seeking skilled Fabricators to support the delivery of one of Australia’s most significant rail manufacturing projects. With more than 155 years of rail heritage, Downer is Australia’s leading rail business, delivering whole‑of‑life asset management and next‑generation transport solutions. Through QTMP, we are redefining how rollingstock is designed, manufactured, and delivered in Australia.
The Queensland Train Manufacturing Program involves the design and delivery of 65 new six-car passenger trains at a purpose-built manufacturing facility at Torbanlea, near Maryborough. Trains will be maintained and stabled at a rail facility being constructed in Ormeau, on the Gold Coast. The Queensland Train Manufacturing Program will support South East Queensland's population and economic growth, as well as Cross River Rail and the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
If you take pride in precision, value innovation, and want to work in an environment that reflects the future of manufacturing rather than the past, this role offers a unique opportunity to be part of an industry‑defining project.
