You help Switzerland reach its destination.

You help us navigate every twist and turn.

As a public transport specialist with a specialization in mobility, you maintain an overview. Without planning, no bus; without you, no flow. You’re the control center behind Swiss Post’s public transport and ensure that everything runs smoothly. You organize and find solutions when things don’t go according to plan. You advise customers on tickets and travel, work with digital tools and help to organize replacement solutions quickly in the event of disruptions. Even when things get hectic, you stay calm and inform everyone involved. Varied tasks and plenty of contact with people are part and parcel of the job. You work together as a team to ensure that everyone gets to their destination safely.

Training and vocational school:

The apprenticeship will last three years and lead you step by step into the world of public transport. You will work on timetables and adapt them if something changes due to construction sites or major events, for example. You plan the deployment of staff and vehicles. You’ll complete your training in SwissPost’s Mobility Services unit, supported by login, the public transport training association. In the first year of the apprenticeship, you’ll start at Swiss Post and learn how planning really works in the background. In the second year of your apprenticeship, you’ll switch to a login partner company, in rail traffic control, for example, and gain a new insight into traffic. In the third year of the apprenticeship, you’ll be back at Swiss Post. You will analyse processes, improve services and take on more responsibility. At the end, you will complete your apprenticeship with the Federal VET Diploma. Swiss Post is your main training company, and login organizes your training path. You can apply directly via login.
