Rob Barnett, Chief Executive Officer, talks about working at V/Line:

Working at V/Line

At V/Line we provide hundreds of train and coach services to regional Victoria every day.


Be part of a place where we are proud of what we do every day.

What we do is vital to Victoria. Our 1400 staff are proud of the role we play in supporting the communities we live in. We provide a sustainable and green way to travel, whether that’s for work, study, visiting friends and family or leisure.


Be part of an industry for the future.

With more people choosing to travel by public transport, we’re growing at an unprecedented rate. Governments around the world, as well as here in Victoria, are investing many millions of dollars into rail infrastructure and new technology. This means we’re looking for people to work with us to develop careers in the rail industry.


Be a part of something different

At V/Line we have lots of interesting jobs all across Victoria. If you’re a school leaver looking for your first job, traineeship or apprenticeship, or maybe you’re a university graduate or qualified tradesperson, then V/Line might have what you’re looking for. We have jobs to suit practical and academic people.

You’ll work with great people, benefit from free travel on Victorian public transport and have the opportunity to work close to home.


Benefit and grow

Enjoy the variety and opportunity to move around and try new jobs.

There are diverse technical roles such as signal maintenance, fleet engineering or transport logistics. Systems and technology will make these roles highly sought after in the future.

We have customer service jobs onboard our trains and at our stations. Our corporate offices also offer jobs in finance, marketing and communications, human resources, information technology, environment, safety, contracts and procurement.

Operational positions such as train controllers, drivers and shunters keep our services running seven days a week.

Our infrastructure and network services departments maintain our signals and tracks, conduct emergency repairs and upgrade the rail network. Graduate roles exist in the areas of engineering including civil, electrical, structural and mechanical. Apprenticeships and trades are also available.

We also need people who like to get their hands dirty, want to work outdoors and want to work with specialised machinery. Our teams of Infrastructure Maintenance Workers are located right across Victoria and are looking after our tracks.
