SCOTRAIL has unveiled plans to help keep train services in the north of Scotland on track by bolstering its team of engineers.

The organisation is hiring a number of engineers at its Inverness Depot, with salaries starting from £47,338 and increasing to £53,039 after completion of training. To be a ScotRail engineer, candidates must hold relevant electrical or mechanical qualifications and be familiar with quality management (ISO 9001) procedures.

Julie Dale, ScotRail HR director, said, “We are excited to bring on talented engineers who share our passion for innovation and sustainability in public transport. It’s an excellent opportunity that provides high quality jobs which support the local economy and communities across the Highlands.

“Our engineers are at the heart of what we do, ensuring we deliver a safe and reliable railway for our customers. Checking and maintaining our trains before they depart on their journeys is vital part in the essential service ScotRail provides for local people, visitors, and tourists.”
