About this role
Are you a qualified train driver with experience in freight traffic? Do you enjoy working from home and on a compressed schedule? Would you like to be part of a railway company with promising future prospects? Then you could be our next colleague!
With us, you will have the opportunity to work in a stable and growing company alongside dedicated and experienced colleagues. Here, you will become part of a close-knit group of train drivers where camaraderie is strong – even though we work spread out across the country.
ProTrain is a railway company that operates its own traffic and offers staffing services. As a train driver with us, you will work from home on a compressed schedule (8/6). You may be assigned to various tasks and locations throughout the country. In practice, many of our drivers work long on the same assignment, while others combine several assignments based on preferences and needs.
We are currently seeking more train drivers as our freight traffic is expanding. We see a need for both timber transport for our customers in the forestry industry and other types of freight operations. The work content varies – on some assignments, you will drive only electric or diesel locomotives, while on others, you will handle both. Some assignments involve radio-controlled driving in connection with loading and unloading at terminals.
A central part of the role is collaboration with planning staff, terminals, and in some cases, our customers. Therefore, you need to be comfortable communicating and keeping relevant parties informed so that the entire logistics chain operates smoothly and efficiently.
Good to know:
- You will work from home
- Compressed schedule: You work eight days at other locations, followed by six days off
- Full-time, permanent position with an initial probationary period
- Collective agreement, Track Agreement - Seko and ST
- Start date according to agreement
About the position
We are looking for you who are a fully trained and certified train driver with a valid train driver’s license and previous experience in freight traffic. The job requires you to be meticulous, independent, and possess good communication skills – both internally and externally. As a train driver, you are often our representative on site, making customer focus and good collaboration important qualities.
We may also place importance on matching our assignments with your experience of specific vehicle types and routes. Experience with Br187, RC3, RC4, TMZ, and T43 is advantageous, and knowledge of operations in Norway is highly desirable for certain assignments.
Due to the short timeframe before the start, we unfortunately cannot accommodate newly graduated drivers. If you are newly graduated or lack experience in freight traffic, you are warmly welcome to submit an expression of interest, and we will gladly match you with other assignments that may be a better fit.
