Want to go up in the world?
JOB hunters wanting to go up in the world in 2018 could bag an opportunity to work for the highest railway in Britain.
Snowdon Mountain Railway takes passengers to the summit of Wales’ highest mountain.
Now the heritage railway is seeking new workers who want their career to hit new heights.
Bosses are recruiting for a variety of positions, from locomotive firemen to train guards.
Vince Hughes, commercial manager at Snowdon Mountain Railway, said: “As we prepare for a new season of taking passengers to the top of Snowdon, we’re looking to recruit enthusiastic and hardworking local talent to help us.
“Working on Wales’ highest mountain is a challenging, enjoyable and rewarding experience, so if you want to join our passionate team and see your career reach new heights this year, come and have a chat.”
The roles up for grabs include work at the railway’s Llanberis Station, on board its trains and even on top of Snowdon itself at 3,560ft, within the mountain’s summit building, Hafod Eryri.
The jobs available are locomotive firemen, catering and retail supervisors and assistants, ticket office assistants, train guards and cleaning staff.
There will be a series of recruitment open days at Snowdon Mountain Railway’s Station Café in Llanberis on Monday and Tuesday, February 5 and 6, from 4pm to 8pm.
Snowdon Mountain Railway has been operating since 1896, travelling regularly from Llanberis on the 4.7m route to the summit.
It is the only public rack and pinion – a toothed rack between the running rails and a cog (pinion) on the locomotive – railway in the UK and carries more than 130,000 passengers annually.
