Iarnród Éireann has launched a new recruitment campaign for train drivers, which will see a panel established to recruit up to 100 drivers over the next two years.

Investment in Iarnród Éireann’s network, fleet and customer service is set to see the role of rail expand significantly, as the backbone of Ireland’s sustainable transport network. The driver roles will be based at locations including Cork, Limerick, Waterford, Dublin (DART – Fairview and Bray, Connolly and Heuston), Athlone, Galway and Westport.

The company is asking women to consider driving roles, with an increasing number of women in recent trainee classes.  It also highlighted the diverse range of previous careers from which recent driver recruits have come, from banking to airlines, from defence forces to archaeology and much more.
