Application Procedure

This page provides detailed instructions for candidates applying to European Union Agency for Railways (ERA) positions. We invite candidates to carefully read all these elements before applying.

For applications to be valid, the candidates must submit the ERA application form duly completed on the closing date for the submission of applications.

Candidates holding non-EU degrees/diplomas are requested to send the EU validated degrees/diplomas scanned versions together with their ERA application.

Failure to comply with the instructions will result in the exclusion from the selection procedure.

The vehicular language of the Agency being English, candidates are encouraged to apply in English to facilitate the selection process.

Applications must be sent by email only to mailbox jobsatera [dot] europa [dot] eu (jobs[at]era[dot]europa[dot]eu) clearly indicating the call for applications reference number in the subject line.

If at any stage in the procedure, it is established that the information provided by a candidate is incorrect, the candidate in question may be disqualified.

It is forbidden for candidates to make direct or indirect contact with the members of the Selection Committee, or for anyone to do so on their behalf. The Authority Authorised to Conclude Contracts by delegation (hereinafter AACC) reserves the right to disqualify any candidate who disregards this instruction.

A reserve list will be established and will be valid for 2 years as of the closing date of the selection procedure. The validity of the reserve list may be extended if the AACC so decides. The reserve list may be used for the engagement for other posts carrying the same FG and grade, profile as the one described above.

Please note that due to the large numbers of applications we might receive by the submission deadline, the system may encounter problems processing large amounts of data. Applicants are therefore advised to send their ERA application well ahead of the deadline.

Important: Supporting documents (e.g. certified copies of degrees/diplomas, proof of experience, etc.) should NOT be sent at this stage but shall be requested at a later stage of the procedure. No documents will be sent back to candidates.
