Over the past few months, we’ve been welcoming the newest group of Locomotive Engineers to our Transdev Wellington heavy rail operations. Like Journey Makers at Transdev worldwide, they come to us from a huge range of prior experience.
What they have in common is a drive to keep Wellington moving and a willingness to be put through the paces. Becoming a Locomotive Engineer isn’t an overnight thing – it takes months of intensive practice, theory and assessments before ever stepping behind the controls independently.
Just ask some of our recently qualified engineers – like Lennox, embracing a completely new career; Vanessa, stepping up from her Train Manager role; or Elyse, following in filial footsteps, they’re all exemplars of the same spirit you’ll see in our people the world over.
Congratulations to these trainees and everyone who’s completed (or is about to) this first step in a long, rewarding career in transport. We can’t wait to see where this road (or the tracks, as the case may be) will take you.
