Here's what you can look forward to.

As a train traffic controller, you keep an eye on the route network assigned to you, directing and monitoring the trains at your workstation with around eight screens. During normal operations, you observe the traffic, control the processes and thus ensure smooth operations. In the event of disruptions, you take over operational management: You analyze the situation, initiate measures and rectify the disruption so that normal operations can be restored as quickly as possible. In this way, you share responsibility for Switzerland's mobility. Without you, the network comes to a standstill. The job is critical to the system and has an immediate impact: You coordinate people and technology, make quick decisions and thus make a direct contribution to the safety and reliability of rail transport. We offer you paid second training to become a train traffic controller, which lasts eight months. After successfully passing the final examination, you will work at the operations control centre at Zurich Airport or at the Limmattal marshalling yard and help ensure that 9000 passenger and 2000 freight trains reach their destination safely and on time every day.

At our company, night and Sunday work is additionally compensated, e.g. with an hourly wage supplement of 16 francs for Sunday work. For night shifts, you receive time supplements of 10 to 30%, giving you more free time. Benefits such as a free GA and discounted travel abroad – also for your family – can be found on our website under Benefits.
