This is why you want to work as an Employee Safety & Service at NS

This is a position in which you are actively involved with safety. You ensure safety by connecting and acting decisively when necessary. You are among the people and are visibly present at the station and on the train. You have active contact with travelers and colleagues and intervene when tension arises. Your work involves approaching, de-escalating, and acting. Not afterward, but at the moment itself.

You are visibly present and approach people about their behavior and rules. You resolve most situations by staying calm and communicating clearly. If that is not enough, you act professionally.
