Lokförargruppen

Lokförargruppen is a Swedish bemanning company that specialises in järnvägsbemanning, the staffing of the railway sector. Trading as Lokförargruppen i Skövde AB, it describes itself as a partner with long experience in the industry that specialises in providing highly qualified personnel to the railway sector. Its commitment runs from hiring out experienced lokförare and växlare through to trafiksäkerhetsutbildare. The company's stated mission is to deliver railway staffing with high competence, broad knowledge and secure compliance with all of the industry's laws and rules, and it names professionalism and quality as the core of everything it does. Continuous competence development and constant updating of the regulatory framework are how it ensures its drivers are well prepared for every assignment.

Three service lines make up the offer. The lokförare are competent in both freight and passenger traffic, offered as flexible resources for urgent call offs as well as planned assignments, with a focus on safety, punctuality and professionalism. The växlare cover shunting and marshalling work and the safe, efficient handling of wagons, locomotives and train formations, and are used to working in complex and time pressured environments. The third line is training: certified trainers working to Trafikverket's guidelines run courses on safe presence in the track environment and ensure that personnel meet the applicable safety requirements and regulations.

The company's course Att enskilt vistas i spår, also known as BASÄVISTA, follows the content of TDOK 2020:0218 and is led by a trafiksäkerhetsutbildare trained and approved by Trafikverket, which Lokförargruppen says guarantees delivery in line with current regulations and industry standard. Participants get a clear walkthrough of safety rules and of risk management when working in a trafficked track area, based on real situations from railway operations and contracting work, and the course is offered either on open dates or as a company specific programme for contractors, technicians, supervisors and clients. Places are limited per session and are booked at [email protected]. Staff who join are offered a kollektivavtal, friskvårdsbidrag, ongoing competence development, varied assignments and close contact with management in a small team. The office is at Lillebovägen 5 in Skövde and the company can be reached on 073-44 53 376.
