What you can look forward to.

You will undertake a varied, paid 9-month full-time training. The theoretical training takes place in Zurich and you will gain your first practical experience at a regionally assigned shunting yard. You see irregular working hours and shift work as an advantage to enjoy your free time while others work. Night and weekend work is additionally compensated, e.g. with an hourly wage supplement of 16 francs for Sunday work. For night shifts, you receive time bonuses of 10 to 30%, which gives you more free time. Benefits such as a free GA travelcard, discounted travel abroad – also for the family – can be found on our website under Benefits and more information about the profession is available here.

What you will achieve.

• As a construction train driver, you make a significant contribution to ensuring the maintenance, renewal work and fault repairs on overhead line systems.

• To ensure regional logistics, you design, request and order train schedules on time and are responsible for supplying construction sites with the necessary materials.
• You bear great responsibility for the operational safety of the construction trains. Checking the safety of the worksite and preparing reports complete the tasks.
• Additionally, you will be deployed as a construction train driver on the construction site and your craft skills will be required.
• You carry out switching work on overhead line systems or issue switching orders and independently perform the necessary earthing work.

What you bring with you.

• For this demanding work, you are conscientious, reliable, a team player and willing to work in a 24-hour shift system.
• You are physically and mentally resilient and can act consciously and correctly with your independent working style.
