On the serene North Sea isle of Wangerooge, the hunt is on for a fresh train driver to join their rural railroad squad! 🚂🌊

Wangerooge, an honorary member of the North Sea Archipelago, is currently grappling with a scarcity of skilled employees. This labour shortage has even resulted in the purchase of a cleaning robot for the school due to the absence of cleaning staff. Despite facing these challenges, the tranquil island still needs a reliable car pilot for the 4-kilometer route between the jetty and train station. 🚌🛤️

The trains treading these salty marshes along the Wadden Sea could theoretically reach speeds of up to 40 kilometers per hour with the help of the "class 399" locomotives. However, these diesel engines often amble along the narrow-gauge lines at a leisurely 15 to 20 kilometers per hour. 💨

The role comes with competitive remuneration, 💰 paying between 44,500 to 5,400 euros yearly, based on a 39-hour workweek. This remuneration includes Christmas bonuses and allowances. No professional experience is necessary to apply, and vocational training graduates are welcomed with open arms! 🌈

The entry and exit point for train drivers is a cozy, well-maintained station, complete with the inviting phrase "Come back." Catalyzing this idyllic simulacrum is the alluring appeal of living and working like the beloved characters in children's literature, featuring an out-of-town setting that's akin to the magical realm of Jim Button and Luke. 📖

Application details may vary based on the railway company operating the trains on Wangerooge. Typical qualifications include a high school diploma, completion of approved railway training, and passing a medical examination, among others. To learn more, it's recommended to get in touch with the relevant railway company directly. 📞
