About the Role n

As a Driver Trainer, you'll be responsible for delivering and supporting structured rail training across classroom, practical and operational environments.

n

You'll work closely with new-to-industry learners as they progress from initial training through to workplace development, as well as supporting experienced rail employees with ongoing competency and operational development.

n

This role requires more than strong operational knowledge. We're looking for a trainer who understands how to engage learners, adapt their delivery, provide effective coaching and make sound assessment decisions.

n

You'll also remain connected to operations, including supporting employees in the field and participating in revenue services where required.

n

Your responsibilities will include:

n

n
- Delivering classroom, practical and on-the-job rail training
n
- Training, coaching and mentoring new-to-industry learners
n
- Supporting Drivers Under Instruction and operational employees
n
- Conducting competency-based assessment within your authorised scope
n
- Monitoring learner progress and providing constructive feedback
n
- Supporting practical and operational competency development
n
- Working revenue services as required
n
- Preparing for training delivery and maintaining quality training resources
n
- Completing assessment, marking and training documentation accurately and within required timeframes
n
- Maintaining current operational and training and assessment capability
n
- Contributing to validation and continuous improvement of training and assessment practices
n

About You nn
- An experienced rail trainer who understands that quality training is about more than presenting information.
n
- Know how to read a learner, recognise when someone isn't understanding a concept and adjust your approach without compromising competency or safety standards.
n
- Organised,



accountable and able to work independently while maintaining strong relationships with learners, operational teams, management and clients
n
- Take pride in developing safe, capable and confident rail employees.
n

What You'll Bring nn
- TLI42622 Certificate IV in Train Driving , relevant equivalent qualification or vocational competencies acceptable to the RTO
n
- TAE40116 or TAE40122 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment , or another accepted training and assessment credential
n
- Demonstrated experience delivering rail training and/or competency-based assessment
n
- Strong freight rail operational experience
n
- Current and relevant rail industry knowledge
n
- Experience coaching and mentoring employees in operational environments
n
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills
n
- Sound organisational and time-management skills
n
- High attention to detail when completing training and assessment documentation
n
- Current driver's licence
n

n

You’ll also need to meet relevant Rail Safety Worker health assessment and operational competency requirements.

Travel and Flexibility n

The majority of training is based in Newcastle, however the role supports rail operations and training programs across multiple locations.

n

You'll need to be comfortable travelling regionally and interstate and working away from home when required. Some training programs may require extended periods away.

n

A daily meal allowance is provided when working away from home, with a company vehicle available for work requiring travel.

n

As with most operational rail roles, some flexibility around working hours and weekends will be required.

Join Trojan Rail n

This is an opportunity to bring together your training capability and operational rail experience in a role where both are valued.

n

You'll have the opportunity to work with learners from the beginning of their rail career through to operational development, while remaining connected to the operational environment yourself.

n

If you’re an experienced Driver Trainer who is passionate about developing people and maintaining high standards of rail training, safety and competency, we'd like to hear from you.
