This is what you can look forward to.
About 14,000 employees in passenger transport ensure that the over 1.3 million SBB customers we carry daily have easy access to public transport and travel safely and punctually from A to B. The shunting staff, as a central professional group, make a key contribution to this. An innovative working environment awaits you, where you move the SBB together with your team colleagues, as well as a varied and paid training. In addition, you have various internal training opportunities. Attractive working conditions are important to us, even with irregular working hours. Night and weekend work is additionally compensated - e.g. with 16 francs per hour for Sunday work. For night shifts, you also receive time bonuses between 10 and 30%. This means you have more free time than employees without night and weekend shifts.
This is what you can achieve.
- You prepare passenger trains for their journey, carry out shunting movements on train compositions and drive various traction vehicles with a maximum speed of 30 km/h within a limited area of the station to the defined starting point.
- During shunting movements, you monitor the route and thus ensure safety.
- You prepare the readiness for departure, enter data into safety and information systems, and carry out brake tests.
- You remedy minor defects or faults on the vehicle yourself if possible or report them to the responsible authority using the prescribed instruments.
- Assignments as a shunting specialist (Ai40) in full tours are a matter of course for you. You couple and uncouple rail vehicles, direct individual shunting movements and return train compositions.
This is what you bring with you.
- You are attentive, focused and physically resilient to successfully manage this demanding work in a 24-hour shift operation. In addition, you enjoy working outdoors in all weather conditions.
- In your daily work, you use a tablet, among other things. You have no difficulty handling modern work tools.
- You are already a trained train driver Cat. A40
- You have good knowledge of German, both spoken and written.
- You have perfect colour vision (no red-green colour blindness) and have no entries in the criminal and debt enforcement registers.
