About the Position

The train driver position in Kalmar is an independent, responsible, and varied job. Your tasks consist of half train driving and half shunting. You primarily drive routes between Kalmar and a customer in Mönsterås, where shunting is performed at both locations. Working hours are Monday to Friday, and you drive trains on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 06:50 to 15:30. Tuesday is an office day. In Kalmar, you work alone at the station, but you meet customers and other drivers during the week. Important qualities for thriving in this role are being self-driven, responsible, and motivated.

The position is a permanent full-time employment initiated by a 6-month probationary period with a start date according to agreement.

Who are we looking for?

You are either a newly trained train driver from YH or an experienced train driver. If you have experience driving freight trains or are trained in shunting, this is an advantage. You need to have a driving license (B).

You have a high safety mindset and can easily absorb new instructions. You can translate new theoretical knowledge into practice and enjoy following rules and routines, understanding their importance. You are collaborative, have good communication skills, and take great personal responsibility for your tasks. Since the work is performed in a safety-critical role, you need to communicate and understand instructions fluently in Swedish.

The work can often be physically demanding, so it is important that you meet the medical requirements set for safety-critical positions. You have a train driver's certificate and can present an approved diploma after your training.

What can we offer you?

Your employment begins with a company-specific training program lasting 12 weeks, preparing you for our operations and our locomotives. The training includes theory, practice, and examination. Green Cargo covers travel and accommodation during the weeks you have training at another location.

As an employee at Green Cargo, you will be offered, among other things:

• Salary and employment conditions according to collective agreements
• Health and wellness allowance of 3000 SEK/year
• Paid statutory health examination with Falck
• Group life insurance (TGL) via Alecta and occupational injury insurance (TFA) via AFA
• Voluntary group insurance via Skandia for you and your family
• Access to the Benify benefits portal
• Reimbursement for TBE vaccination
• Reimbursement for prescription medication up to 2200 SEK
• Parental salary supplement (10%)

In addition to the above, we offer support and assistance from a well-functioning organization, good camaraderie, and an engaged manager. Our operations center is also available around the clock to support and assist with operational questions that arise in production, and our locomotive management is just a call away if you need technical advice. As part of our safety work, continuous further education is a given to prepare you for our operations. For those who are motivated, there are many internal career opportunities. Several of our group leaders started their careers in production. As a train driver, there is also the opportunity to train as a mentor, fact collector, or peer supporter.

Recruitment Process

If you meet our basic requirements, you will initially be invited to a phone interview. This will be followed by an interview with the hiring manager, a medical examination including drug and alcohol testing, and finally digital reference checks and background verification. We use SRI's control tool to ensure that the candidates do not have a background that is incompatible with our values.

Diversity and Inclusion

The employees of Green Cargo are key to achieving the company's vision of world-class railway logistics, and it is the competence and ambition of the employees that drive the company's success. We believe that diversity among our employees strengthens our competitiveness and contributes to our business and development. Therefore, we want a workplace characterized by diversity and welcome applicants with various types of skills, personalities, backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives.
