KalluM MInTERn Senior Passenger Attendant I’ve always wanted to work for CountryLink ever since I was a young boy when I used to see the trains go past my house. When I was in Year 11 I did my work experience with CountryLink as a Passenger Attendant. I was working on board the Canberra Explorers doing day trips as an extra. I had a really great time. When I finished Year 1 , and was in casual employment, one day on the train home, I saw CountryLink’s ad for onboard staff. I thought: ‘Well, why not apply?’ From there it was full speed ahead – I received a phone call just before Christmas from CountryLink. The lady told me that I had got the job. I was ecstatic and very emotional because where I was living in the country, employment prospects for a good position were quite poor. These days, I’m a Senior Passenger Attendant; basically I’m the catering manager on board the train, in charge of catering, supervising staff, revenue, and all stock procedures. It’s actually quite fun and you get to meet heaps of people. The social atmosphere at work is like being in a family – it’s really good and everyone treats each other pretty well. There’s a diverse range of ages; I work with people who are 70 and people who are 5. Kallum Mintern is now a Passenger Services Supervisor. I’VE loVED woRKInG wITH CounTRylInK. I’M VERy PassIonaTE abouT My Job. I’ll bE HERE FoR My lonG sERVICE, I Can GuaRanTEE THaT. ( I RUN the RAILWAYS)
PaTRICIa RosER Project Engineer Traditionally, when you think of railways, it’s all about track and trains. Signalling as a career was something new to me, a different career opportunity I hadn’t thought of. I started in 00 as part of the RailCorp Graduate Program. I completed a Graduate Diploma of Railway Signalling from Central Queensland University, and was lucky enough to be one of the first graduates for the course and RailCorp. It’s always hard going back to study after working, but this course was very practical, and supported by RailCorp, so the opportunity was too good to pass up. I was fortunate enough to work with Signal Engineers of all qualifications and I soon recognised how Signal Engineers (Field) are a specialised breed and there were no women who held this qualification. I set myself a challenge. I passed my Signal Field Engineers exam and the required board interviews in 007 to become the first female Signal Engineer in RailCorp.
