ScotRail to hire engineers at Inverness depot

Train operator ScotRail is inviting qualified engineers to apply for new jobs at its Inverness depot as it expands its engineering workforce in the Highlands to improve reliability.

ScotRail is one of the largest operators, offering nearly one hundred million journeys a year. Inverness is one of four main maintenance centers it operates in Scotland.

At these depots, workers maintain and service more than six hundred trains, and ScotRail prides itself on the high quality and engineering standards it achieves.

Five years ago, ScotRail upgraded Inverness depot by adding new equipment.

ScotRail has been recognized as a Top Employer on several occasions. It offers positions with salaries starting at £47,338 per annum and rising to £53,039 on completion of training.

The operator describes the new jobs as “a great opportunity for skilled mechanical and electrical engineers”.

Candidates should have the relevant qualifications in electrical or mechanical and should also be familiar with quality management procedures (ISO 9001).

Prospective applicants can find out more about the role on the ScotRail careers website.

“We are excited to hire talented engineers who share our passion for innovation and sustainability in public transport. This is an excellent opportunity that provides high-quality jobs that support the local economy and communities of 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 set out on their journeys is a vital part of the essential service ScotRail provides to the local population, visitors and tourists”.
