Inclusivity and diversity

Everyday inclusion at Southeastern

At Southeastern, we are committed to building and maintaining a culture of everyday inclusion for everyone, every time and in everything we do. Our people are at the heart of everything we do and we value our people as much as we do our customers.

We believe that everyone has the potential to thrive in the rail industry and our commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion is at the core of all we do.

If one person can do it, so can you. Our inclusive culture welcomes everyone from all backgrounds, experiences, and walks of life. Whether you are just starting your career or looking to make a change, there is a place for you here.

Your talent matters and we are dedicated to creating a workplace where everyone has the opportunity to succeed based on their skills, abilities and potential.

Can you move people? We believe you can. Join us and be part of a team where diversity drives innovation, everyone is empowered to achieve their best and where your contributions make a real difference.

If we can do it, you can do it too. Welcome aboard!
