Our Station Staff are the first point of contact for our passengers. This hands-on role will see you selling Mykis, making announcements, coordinating coach activities and de-escalating situations as they arise while making sure that all V/Line passengers are provided with fantastic customer service. You'll need to stay on the lookout for any risks or hazards around the station, ensuring that the station is neatly presented and always well maintained (including cleaning toilets and washing windows).
