Full dedication to our customers

We warmly welcome career changers

“Thanks to the Rhaetian Railway, I received the opportunity as a career changer to complete the challenging but achievable training as a train conductor,” says Franziska, who gladly attends to passengers travelling through the breathtaking routes of the Rhaetian Railway as an express train conductor.

At the Rhaetian Railway, however, career changers can retrain as engine drivers, conductors and train traffic controllers at certain points in the year. Exciting careers with great prospects. Ursina is a train traffic controller who adds: “Many passengers don’t even know about all the work going on in the background and how we operate. However, I find it all very exciting and I enjoy the shift system which provides me with more spare time and thus greater freedom to enjoy my private life.”
