Description

The German Railway is one of the most diverse employers in Germany.

Every year, we are looking for over 5,000 apprentices in 50 different professions who want to grow and improve with us.

We are currently seeking candidates for a 3-year apprenticeship as a Train Traffic Controller (m/f/d) for DB InfraGO AG at our County Center in Cochem.

The vocational school is located in Lahnstein.

As an apprentice, you will become a coordinator for our trains. However, you will not be on the train itself, but rather in a control center (called a "signal box"). We have countless signal boxes all over Germany.

Using screens or boards, you will be able to monitor the trains in your area and control their movements using buttons, switches, and levers.

With the push of a button, you can change signals (traffic lights for the trains) to green or red, and also switch tracks so that the trains can change lanes.

You will also have many other tasks that make you a crucial team member for the train drivers. You will be in constant communication, exchanging information about any changes during the journey.

You will work with a small team in the Koblenz region, on a signal box close to the action. Here, you will see the trains passing by. The trains are usually controlled using levers, buttons, or switches.

With your larger team of around 40 colleagues, you will work in the operations center on an electronic signal
