Quality & Testing & Technical & Specialist Roles

Downer’s Rail & Transit Systems (RTS) is the leading rail business in Australia, with expertise in delivering whole-of-life asset management support to our customers. With over 155 years of rail experience, we deliver innovative transport solutions that keep communities moving.  

We’re proud to be delivering the Queensland Train Manufacturing Program (QTMP), and we’re looking for the best people to help make it happen. 

QTMP involves the design, manufacture and maintenance of 65 new six-car passenger trains to support Cross River Rail and the 2032 Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Games. These trains will be built at a new, purpose-built facility in Torbanlea on the Fraser Coast. 

We are currently seeking Expressions of Interest for a range of upcoming white-collar roles across various departments. This is your chance to be part of an industry leading, world class project. You’ll work with cutting-edge technology in state-of-the-art facilities, alongside a passionate and skilled team.

We are particularly interested in hearing from candidates with experience in the following areas:

• Production
• Manufacturing quality control
• Test lead
• Technical & Specialist roles

As we proceed to final handover of the Torbanlea Manufacturing Facility, and open for manufacturing and production, roles will slowly come available throughout late 2026 and into 2027.

You want your work to matter and so do we.  With over 26,000 people across Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific, our team is made up of individuals with unique perspectives, backgrounds, and ideas.

We know that diversity makes us stronger and we actively celebrate it through our commitment to inclusion and belonging. 

We’re committed to building a team that reflects the diverse communities we serve and we welcome people of all ages, genders, sexual orientations, cultures, abilities, and lived experiences. We especially encourage applications from those whose voices have traditionally been underrepresented in our industry, including women, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, Māori and Pasifika Peoples, veterans, people with disability, and neurodivergent individuals.  Even if your experience doesn’t align perfectly with this role, we’d still like to hear from you. If it feels like the right fit, apply - potential counts, and so do you.
