Volunteering

Come and join the team at the Queensland Pioneer Steam Railway today!

Since our humble beginnings 40 years ago, the railway has been managed, maintained and operated by people from all walks of life who donate their time for the simple pleasure of preserving a living part of Australia’s Industrial History.

As a volunteer, you can learn new skills from old masters and find what best suits you in our group – there is no end to the options. In each case training will be given so you are proficient in the tasks you perform. Some areas are safety critical so medicals and regular competence assessments are mandatory.

If you are office bound and want to enjoy the outdoor life, then why not train for operations staff or crew, to perform track work or assist in Locomotive and Carriage restorations.

If you have an outdoors job and would like to sit down, a spot on our marketing team may be for you.

If you like meeting people, then maybe the roles of Passenger Service Attendant, Waiter on the Dinner Train, Station Master, Conductor or Station Staff would suit you.
