About the job
SBB Cargo International is the market leader in European rail freight traffic on the North-South axis. Thanks to our over 1,000 employees in Switzerland, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy and France, we operate around 550 trains weekly from the North Sea ports to Italy and back. In doing so, we shift thousands of net tonnes from road to rail and make an active contribution to greater climate protection.
While other trains pass by, you ensure they run. At the Control Centre Olten, you coordinate and control international freight trains between the North Sea ports and Italy. You keep an overview, make decisions in real time and, together with a team, ensure safe and reliable rail traffic. In a six-month paid training programme, you will learn dispatching from the ground up. Theory, modern control systems and practical assignments prepare you optimally for your role. Career changers are welcome.
