What you can look forward to.
About 14,000 employees in passenger transport ensure that the over 1.3 million SBB customers we transport 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, such as training to become a shunting locomotive driver. 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.
What you can achieve.
- As a shunting specialist, you contribute to ensuring that our customers travel reliably and punctually by moving, forming and breaking down passenger trains according to the train formation plan.
- You direct individual shunting movements and return train compositions.
- Your responsibilities in train preparation include preheating and air conditioning the trains as well as carrying out train inspections and brake tests.
- You report irregularities, special incidents or deviations to the responsible authority.
- Due to your safety awareness, it is natural for you to work according to regulations.
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.
- You are already a trained shunting specialist Ai40.
- Since all instructions and documentation are electronic, you will quickly find your way around digital tools.
- You are fluent in German (level C2).
- You have perfect colour vision (no red-green colour blindness).
