Our technician community comes from diverse backgrounds, and this might be your first consideration of a career in rail. We focus on your transferable skills and behaviors; if you can demonstrate them, we will provide all necessary training for you to work safely and competently on the network.

If you succeed, you'll have a rewarding career with a company that joined the top 50 in Glassdoor's 2021 Best Places to Work.
