- Full Time
Start your training as a Shunting Locomotive Driver. Are you highly interested in operating locomotives, preparing them for our Universal Locomotive Drivers, and checking all safety regulations? Then you’ve come to the right place!
Your tasks – exciting and varied:
- In a comprehensive, several-month training programme, you will be carefully prepared for your future role – with plenty of practical experience and personal guidance.
- During the training, you will gain valuable driving experience – both in the modern ÖBB simulator and in real railway operations.
- Upon completion of the training, you will receive the Class A4 locomotive driver’s licence, including shunting management.
- Part of your daily routine will include preparing locomotives in accordance with regulations, inspecting them, and carrying out shunting and transfer journeys. Any noticeable damage will, of course, be reported.

What you bring – our expectations:
- You have completed vocational training, and you will be at least 19 years old at the start of the course.

What we offer you – a compelling package:
- Training that combines technology, responsibility, and teamwork – while offering room for personal development.
- High-quality yet significantly shorter training (approx. 28 weeks) compared to that for Universal Locomotive Drivers.
- The start of a long-term career as a locomotive driver – with opportunities for advancement to higher classes or additional locomotive types.
- Experienced professionals and career changers are also very welcome: technical understanding and a passion for responsibility matter more than previous job titles.
