ÖBB's 48,000 employees drive Austria's transport revolution with teamwork and ambition

ÖBB continues to grow as one of Austria's largest employers, with nearly 48,000 staff keeping the country—and much of Europe—moving. The company's focus on teamwork and shared responsibility has driven major projects, from expanding public transport to building key infrastructure like the Koralm Railway.

Last year alone, ÖBB received almost 140,000 job applications, showing strong interest in its work culture. The company hired 5,439 new employees in 2025, including a record 760 apprentices. This growth reflects its commitment to training and long-term employment.

ÖBB's success comes from collaboration across different professions and backgrounds. Employees work together on large-scale projects, such as the Koralm Railway, which required expertise from engineers, planners, and construction teams. Even in difficult times, the company keeps investing in expansion and innovation.

The company also prides itself on creating a stable and inclusive workplace. Staff describe it as a place where people feel they belong, contributing to both personal and professional growth.

With nearly 50,000 employees and ongoing expansion, ÖBB remains a key force in Austria's transport network. The high number of applicants and new hires confirms its reputation as a reliable employer. By combining teamwork with ambitious projects, the company ensures mobility for millions while shaping the future of infrastructure.
