What do the fitters do the way. The profession is a path fitter. General labor protection requirements

The railway for Russia has been the most important infrastructure facility since its inception in the 19th century. To maintain all this vast economy in order, a whole army of workers is required, who are popularly called railway workers.

What do track fitters do?

Strictly speaking, who are the track fitters (railroad workers)? These are people who do all the most difficult and routine work. Their main task is routine maintenance and preventive maintenance of railway tracks.

The specialty of a railroad worker naturally took shape when the network began to actively develop in the Russian Empire. railways... It is characteristic that, despite extensive mechanization, the work of a railroad worker still remains manual.

The essence of the duties of a path fitter:

replacement of rails and sleepers;

alteration of paths;

rail turning;

alignment of sleepers;

adjustment of switch mechanisms;

adjustment of turnout profiles;

correction of the path in the depths (heaving of the ground);

assembly of rail links on special machines of the link assembly line.

During planned repairs, the tracker, like a hundred years ago, uses mainly hand tools: sledgehammers, crowbars, paws for pulling out crutches. Sleepers and pieces of rail often also have to be dragged manually (where installation by cranes is impossible), or with the help of special trolleys - modern.

At the same time, work takes place almost at any time of the day and in any weather: in the heat, in the rain, in the cold or in a blizzard.

It is characteristic that such low-skilled work does not disappear anywhere and is still in demand from Russian Railways and its subsidiaries.

Requirements for the qualifications of track fitters

First of all, a candidate for railway workers must have good physical fitness and endurance, therefore, mainly young men apply for this position.

Moreover, the qualification requirements are already secondary. Even university students are often employed for part-time work in travel crews. True, they are entrusted with the most rough work: tightening and unscrewing bolts when dismantling rails, loading and unloading operations, removing debris, clearing tracks from snow, etc.

But for career growth but it’s still a good idea to get some education. In general, this specialty is not among the most qualified.

Where to get training on the track fitter

There are many colleges in Russia that train railway construction workers. The recruitment is carried out after the end of the 9th or 11th grade. For 9th grade graduates, training takes 4 years. Those who have received a complete secondary education will have to unlearn for 3 years.

Nevertheless, on the path fitter, you can retrain with a different basic vocational education. There is a wide network training centers who train such specialists.

Qualification categories of the specialty Pathfinder according to ETKS

Currently, there are five stages of training track fitters - from 2 to 6.

Track fitter 2 category

Least qualified specialist. Performs only applied auxiliary operations.

Track fitter 3 grade

It can replace individual parts of tracks (sleepers and rails), drill, service the sleeper.

Track fitter 4 grade

Performs a wide range of works from mounting / dismantling rails to replacing single parts on turnouts. Also, the responsibilities include maintaining the auto-blocking rail chain in good condition, replacing the elements of the rail-and-sleep grate in areas with reinforced concrete sleepers, slabs and blocks.

Track fitter, 5th grade

Able to carry out complex repairs, including assembly and disassembly of the track superstructure. It can lay rails according to a square and templates, is engaged in measuring and straightening track along the track width, and is engaged in laying rails using a continuous weld method.

Track fitter, 6th grade

He is engaged in particularly complex work on the installation and dismantling of tracks, including the installation of rail transfers, measuring the curved sections of the track along the deflection arrows, etc.

How much does a track fitter earn in Russia

An employee's salary directly depends on qualifications. On the initial stage without work experience, he can count on 20 thousand rubles at best.

A specialist with up to 3 years of experience and 3rd grade will be offered about 25 thousand rubles. The maximum salary ceiling that is found on job search sites is 40 thousand rubles. However, on average, the amount fluctuates in the region of 25-30 thousand.

In this case, the employer can indicate in the working conditions both a full eight-hour working day and shift work. In some cases, it will be indicated shift work(if we are talking about the construction or reconstruction of tracks away from settlements).

Cons and pros of the profession of path fitter

pros specialty:

official employment;

demand in the labor market;

career opportunities;

you can find a job without the appropriate qualifications.

Minuses:

low wages at the initial stage;

physically demanding outdoor work;

health restrictions;

risk of accidents and injuries.
