Must-haves for this job

You are not a doubter.

You are someone who:

Has experience in earthworks

Can work safely in a rail environment

Has a C or CE driver's license (bonus, not a must but a big plus)

Can handle physical work

Carries team spirit within

Is maintenance of rails, ballast, and ground not an unfamiliar task to you? Then you are in the right place here.

The ideal teammate is…

Not just groundwork — but work around rail infrastructure.

That is precision, safety, and craftsmanship.

You are not someone who digs a hole.

You are someone who ensures that rail renewal can proceed smoothly.

Salary and extra-legal benefits

  • Correct wages according to PC 124 (construction)
  • Compensations and benefits (transportation allowance…)
  • Work clothing and protection
  • Training on safety and railway infrastructure
  • Stable work on projects of considerable duration
  • Opportunity for permanent employment

Your investment in your profession is recognized here. No vague promises — but concrete employment conditions.

Vacation days

-Construction holiday

You work on and around rail yards in Flanders.

This is not an open field where everyone can just walk around.

Here you wear your PPE because it is necessary — not because it is written down on paper.

Here you listen to the safety briefing, because one mistake is one too many.

Here you work with equipment that is adapted to the environment: signage, security, specific machines for rail infrastructure.

You are not just 'on a site'.

You work in an environment where timing, precision, and safety are sacred.

And your team?

These are people who know what rail work involves.

Who know their job.

Who say it like it is.

And who do what they promise.

Not procedures collecting dust in a folder.

But clear agreements that everyone follows — because it is necessary, and because it works.

Your day starts at the train tracks.

Shovel, crane, ground — everything to be prepared for what comes:

  • You carry out earthworks along and around the tracks
  • You work with ballast, pipes, stabilization layers, drainage
  • You plan the site together with your team focused on safety and efficiency
  • You collaborate closely with train guidance, signaling, and safety coordinators
  • You actively contribute to high-quality rail infrastructure

This is not a routine job. This is working with focus, oversight, and craftsmanship.

Not just a temporary job that stops when it rains.

You will join an infrastructure player that builds projects—literally.

Long-term railway works, good planning, professional equipment, respect for the team and work pace.

Here it’s not about fancy words, but about work that endures.

Our client is a well-established name in infrastructure.

Not one that “sometimes does something with rails.”

But a partner that prioritizes quality, safety, and results.

You work on projects where you later drive or walk by and think:

“Wow, I built that.”

Diversity and inclusion are important to Accent. Whoever, whatever or however you are or whatever you stand for, it's your talents that make the difference.
