Korea Rail Network Authority to Hire 168 New Employees... Applications Open on the 27th of This Month

The Korea Rail Network Authority announced on the 21st that it will accept applications for new employee recruitment through the Authority's website from the 27th of this month to the 3rd of next month.

The total number of recruits is 168 (118 general positions, 15 high school graduates, 6 disabled, and 29 practical positions). The recruitment fields (job series) are ▲ Office (General) 27 ▲ Office (IT) 5 ▲ Civil Engineering 52 ▲ Architecture 8 ▲ Electrical (Electric Railway Power) 16 ▲ Electrical (Signal) 8 ▲ Communication 8 ▲ Mechanical 15 ▲ National Important Facility Security 25 ▲ Building Security 2 ▲ Civil Service Guidance 1 ▲ Facility Management 1.

After the application submission, the Authority plans to announce the final successful candidates at the end of November following document screening, written exams, and interviews.

In particular, starting from this recruitment, the Korea Rail Network Authority will extend the validity period of language test scores pre-registered on the Cyber National Examination Center or the Integrated Recruitment Portal from the existing 2 years to 5 years, reducing the exam cost burden for job seekers.

Additionally, a 5% additional score will be given in the document screening to self-reliant youth, and 35% of the new recruits will be selected from non-metropolitan area talents under the ‘Non-Metropolitan Area Talent Recruitment Target System.’

Self-reliant youth refers to young people who have lived without the main caregiver’s care in childcare facilities or foster care and have reached the age of 18, or those who have been recognized as having achieved the purpose of protection and whose protective measures have ended (discharged from facilities) within the last 5 years.

Lee Seong-hae, Chairman of the Korea Rail Network Authority, said, “We hope that many talented individuals will show interest and apply for the new employee recruitment,” and added, “The Korea Rail Network Authority will continue to strive to alleviate youth employment difficulties and create quality jobs.”
