DB Cargo UK – For Our Customer – For Our Climate – For Our Economy

Are you looking to start a career in the rail industry or looking for a career change? 

DB Cargo UK is on an ambitious journey to become Europe’s leading rail logistics provider with a long-term plan to shift traffic from roads, protect our climate and grow the economy. To achieve this, we are looking for Mobile Operatives to join us as part of our ground staff team. As a Mobile Operative you’ll be on the go each day by preparing our trains so they’re safe to go on their journey for our customers.

Rail is one of the safest and most eco-friendly means of transport with one single freight train able to carry enough materials to build 30 houses. Our services replace the equivalent of over 22 million truck movements every year, saving 7 million tonnes of carbon emissions! As a Mobile Operative you’ll be directly contributing to reducing carbon emissions and shifting traffic from roads to the rail.
