    How does it work?

    Recruited on an indefinite-term contract, you will join an 18-month programme divided into three 6-month sessions: 
    - 2 sessions in Francein one of our branches: energy (catenaries, signals, high voltage power systems, low-voltage communication systems etc.), regional works (rail tracks, etc.) or major projects (underground, trams, etc.). 
    - 1 international session: operating in 23 countries, Colas Rail's international expansion is continuing year-by-year.

    As our international operations are a key strength of our Group, we support our Graduates in their expatriate projects. This opens the door to a varied and exciting career!


    Are you more interested in maintenance than construction?

    Then our Graduate Equipment Programme is for you, with an immersion stage in our workshops or on global engineering assignments.

    Whichever programme you choose, you will have the opportunity to work in complete synergy with our experts, to take on responsibilities quickly, to develop your adaptability, to find out about the diversity of railway professions and to get to know our history.

    You will benefit from:

    • An assessment at each stage of your career by your sponsor 
    • Early identification of the stages you need to go through to ensure a smooth transition 
    • Support in your postgraduate placement so that it meets both your wishes and the needs of the company
