The Korea Railroad Corporation plans to hire a total of 184 employees in the second half of 2026, including new and experienced staff as well as youth interns. The recruitment will include not only general new hires but also experienced professionals in specialized fields such as law, taxation, and labor.
According to the Korea Railroad Corporation on September 28, the hiring will consist of 103 new and experienced employees, one contract worker, and 80 youth interns. Applications will be accepted from September 30 to October 7.
The new hires will include 46 college graduates, 4 individuals with disabilities, 6 veterans, and 11 high school graduates. The positions available span various fields, including administration, civil engineering, architecture, electrical engineering, telecommunications, and mechanical engineering. The corporation plans to recruit 12 experienced professionals in the fields of law, taxation, and labor.
Additionally, 24 practical positions will be filled in areas such as the protection of national critical infrastructure, facility management, and cleaning. One contract researcher for national research and development (R&D) will also be recruited. The corporation aims to expand employment opportunities for older individuals through positions that prioritize the hiring of seniors in critical infrastructure protection and cleaning.
While the total recruitment size for the second half of this year is 11 fewer than the 195 positions offered during the same period last year, the number of youth interns has increased from 75 to 80. Combining this with the 127 positions filled in the first half of the year, the total recruitment for 2026 stands at 311.
