Trainee Train Conductor

Trainee Conductor – Manchester Airport.

There’s a lot more to this job than checking tickets. It’s about creating rapport with customers and acting as the face of our business. With a mixture of classroom and practical training, you can progress to a Qualified Conductor in around three months.

Being a conductor, you need to know your stuff, routes and rules, issuing tickets and honouring rail cards, delays and other possible problems, which can be distressing for customers. We’ll teach you what you need to know but it’s at those times that the quality of your customer service, communication and dedication will be truly tested.

As confident in your decision making as you are under pressure, you’ll be ready for every challenge that comes your way and no matter what hours you happen to be working that week (this is no regular 9-to-5 job).

If you’re ready for the training, can be flexible about your working hours and will enjoy the critical responsibility and the opportunity to make the most of your natural people skills, then this is definitely the role for you.

Due to the safety responsibilities in the role applicants must:

Not have defective colour vision or under gone laser eye surgery

You must live within a 60 minute commutable distance from the location you are applying for, evidence may be requested as proof of residence.
