MBTA Commuter Rail operator serving 127,000+ daily passengers across Massachusetts
Keolis Commuter Services operates one of the largest commuter rail networks in the United States under contract with the MBTA, moving approximately 127,000 passengers daily. The tech stack is operations-heavy (SAP, Maximo, Trapeze, UKG Pro) — tools built for asset-intensive transportation — rather than software-first. Hiring velocity is accelerating with 68 roles posted in the last 30 days, skewed heavily toward operations (108 roles) and mid-level positions, reflecting demand to scale workforce and operational throughput amid active projects like preventative maintenance scheduling and contract mobilization.
