Job description

You want to play a part in making NSW a better place to work, live and travel.

Every day will be different, and you’ll thrive in the fast-paced environment that will see you embedded in our frontline, connecting with millions of people from across NSW.

In this role, you'll:

  • Develop skills and capabilities to become a qualified Train Driver through our paid 12-month training program.
  • You’ll learn how to safely operate a train and manage a variety of work scenarios through a combination of on-the-job and classroom/train simulation training.
  • Receive ongoing mentoring and support from your dedicated Driver Trainer and experienced team members and get to know other trainees in your training school cohort.

While the path to becoming a Train Driver is dynamic and rewarding, our Trainee program also reflects the work conditions and personal commitment it takes to help Sydney Trains run its network 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Your training schedule will include early mornings, evenings, and weekends. You’ll need to be willing to take on extra study outside of your training schedule to prepare for ongoing assessments.
