Onboarding at Wabtec
Welcome to Wabtec! What to Expect During Onboarding
You've accepted the offer - now what? Whether you're heading into a manufacturing facility, joining a corporate office, or starting remotely, onboarding at Wabtec is all about setting you up for success.
We know every role and location is a little different, so onboarding isn't one-size-fits-all. But no matter where you land, you'll get the tools, support and connections you need to hit the ground running.
Day One Vibes Your first day might include a site tour, safety training, tech setup, or a meet-and-greet with your team. If you're in a manufacturing or trades role, expect hands-on guidance and a strong focus on safety and quality. If you're in an office or hybrid role, you'll likely dive into systems, tools and team intros.
Either way, we keep it welcoming, informative and low-pressure. You're not expected to know everything, just come ready to learn.
Values in Action From the start, you'll see how our values show up in real ways: Innovation: You'll be encouraged to ask questions, share ideas and think creatively—even during onboarding. Do you have a better way to do something? Speak up. Accountability: We trust you to own your role and we'll give you the info and support to do it well. Clear expectations, helpful resources and people who've got your back. Inclusion: You'll meet people from all kinds of backgrounds, skill sets and experiences. We celebrate that. Respect and collaboration are baked into our culture. Impact: From day one, your work matters. Whether you're building components, solving problems, or supporting systems, you're part of something bigger.
Ongoing Support Onboarding doesn't end after your first week. You'll have access to training, mentorship and development opportunities as you settle in. Many teams offer buddy systems or peer support, especially in manufacturing and trades roles, where learning by doing is key.
Managers and teammates are here to help you succeed, so please ask questions!
A Few Things to Keep in Mind
- Every site is different. Onboarding in India might look different than onboarding at a site in the U.S. - and that's okay.
- You're not alone. Whether you're joining a team of 50 or flying solo in a new role, we'll make sure you're connected.
- We're continually improving. Feedback is welcome. If there's something that could be improved, please let us know.
- You belong here. From the first handshake (or wave via Teams), we want you to feel like part of the team.
Starting a new job is a big deal. At Wabtec, we strive to create a great experience - one that reflects who we are and what we stand for.
