Train Operators are responsible for operating Light Rail Vehicle (LRV) trains in revenue and non-revenue service, performing pre-departure checkouts, making public address announcements, monitoring and reporting passenger movements, exercising prudent judgment during any onboard vehicle failures, preparing vehicle defect reports and assisting in providing on-the-job instruction to student personnel.
Train Operators are hired as part-time employees only and are scheduled to work approximately 25-32 hours per week.
Additional hours are frequently assigned to employees in a manner designed to give employees an equal opportunity to work extra hours.
The Transportation Department works 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and Train Operator shift assignments are bid on in seniority order.
Train Operators can expect to be assigned to work nights, weekends, and holidays until such time as their individual seniority allows them to bid to more desirable shifts and days off.
Part-time employees are eligible for promotion to full-time positions in seniority order, as full-time positions become available.
Candidates should assume that they would be working in a part-time status for five or more years.
Part-time employees are not guaranteed any specific number of working hours per week, nor do they receive full MTS Rail employee benefits.
