Kickstart Your Career in Rail with Aurizon!
Looking to start a hands-on career within the Rail Industry? Want to be part of a team that keeps Australia moving? Aurizon is offering a unique entry-level opportunity for reliable, safety-focused individuals to join Australia’s largest Rail Organisation — no prior rail or mechanical experience required!
About the Role
As a Rollingstock Maintainer, you’ll play a vital role in keeping our trains safe, reliable, and running on time. This is a great chance to learn on the job in a supportive environment, gain practical skills, and grow with Australia’s largest rail freight company.
With full training provided, your day-to-day will include:
- Learning to inspect and test key parts of our wagons, including brakes
- Helping move and organise rollingstock within the yard (don’t worry — we’ll show you how!)
- Assisting in basic maintenance and repair tasks under supervision
- Operating tools and equipment (after training) to support rollingstock upkeep
- Supporting your team with general yard duties and teamwork-focused tasks
Who We’re Looking For

- A keen interest in learning mechanical or hands-on work
- A strong commitment to working safely and following instructions
- Good communication and teamwork skills
- A current unrestricted C-class driver’s licence
- A “can-do” attitude and willingness to roll up your sleeves
If you’ve ever enjoyed fixing things, working in a workshop environment, or being part of a team that gets things done, this could be the perfect fit.
