The rail operator is hiring skilled engineers at its Inverness Depot, with salaries starting from £47,338 and increasing to £53,039 after completion of training.
ScotRail has four maintenance depots throughout Scotland responsible for the maintenance, repair, and overhaul of more than 600 trains.
Julie Dale, ScotRail HR Director, said: “We are excited to bring on talented engineers who share our passion for innovation and sustainability in public transport.

"It’s an excellent opportunity that provides high quality jobs which support the local economy and communities across the Highlands.
“Our engineers are at the heart of what we do, ensuring we deliver a safe and reliable railway for our customers.
"Checking and maintaining our trains before they depart on their journeys is vital part in the essential service ScotRail provides for local people, visitors, and tourists.”
To be a ScotRail engineer, candidates must hold relevant electrical or mechanical qualifications and be familiar with quality management (ISO 9001) procedures.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
