Found all of that in the day to day banter while getting the job done.

Written by Locomotive Engineer (Former Employee) from Onehunga, Auckland on 14 August 2020

Variety of jobs, routes start and finish times. Working to a diary, a timescale and the satisfaction of a job done well. The camaraderie of the staff was excellent and my manager was very approachable and supportive and had an open door policy .

Pros

Variety to the job.
