About the role

Amtrak is seeking a Passenger Conductor Trainee in Portland, ME. The role supports safe train operations, assists passengers, and works with the Conductor and crew in a fast-paced environment. New hires undergo seven to eight weeks of training in Wilmington, Delaware, before transitioning to an on‑the‑job role on the extra board. The job expects flexibility, nights, weekends, holidays, and extended periods away from home.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
