Eurostar Driver

International train traffic is growing! Every day, you want to fully commit yourself again to transporting international travelers through Europe safely and at high speeds with Eurostar.

Day or night, or late in the evening; train travelers are always there. So, as a Eurostar driver, you are ready to take them from station to station, and at a speed of 300 km/h. Within the Netherlands or across the border; you know the way and are ready for your passengers. Not only by transporting them safely and comfortably, but also when they have questions about departure times, track changes, or other (international) travel information.

As a Eurostar driver, you drive the high-speed rolling stock to and from Brussels and handle the arrival and departure of the trains to the shunting yard, where you perform tasks such as the daily checks and preparation yourself.
Within this role, you will first undergo the necessary training. Depending on existing knowledge and qualifications, this lasts between 4 months and 1 year, provided there are no unforeseen circumstances.

You will work in a small and close-knit team, and it is precisely because of this that you are able to make a difference. Together with the Train Managers and the Train Attendants, you are the face of Eurostar on the train. In this, you play an active role as a point of contact on the platforms, before departure, during station stops, and after the train's arrival. The Eurostar service concept is designed such that an active role from the train crew is required at all times. As a driver, you are motivated and find it important to bring the traveler to their destination as safely, punctually, and comfortably as possible.
