Our name is inspired by KiwiRail’s Code 155, the Train Control radio alarm that signals a communications blackout. When that alert goes out, everything depends on calm heads, clear thinking, and qualified response. It’s a moment where only the right people can restore order. That’s the standard we at Blackout Rails uphold.

Blackout Rails is a specialist labour hire company, supplying workers who arrive with more than just skills. They come equipped with rail safety knowledge.
Our experienced rail advisor/s have seen first-hand how being unaware of the rail corridor rules can halt an entire site. Personnel get stood down. Time is wasted. Costs blow out and worse lives can be put at risk.
That’s why at Blackout Rails, we train from the jump, so our crews avoid mishaps, protect productivity, and uphold safety every time.

Where other companies vet and forget, we educate. Our experienced rail advisors train our crews through real‑life safety scenarios, so they understand the regulations, the risks, and the protocols before they ever enter the corridor. That’s the difference between getting the job done - and getting it done right. When you hire through Blackout Rails, you’re choosing competence with confidence. You’re choosing a crew that moves with respect and puts safety first.

Keen to work in the rail corridor? Whether you’re a job seeker with prior experience or brand new to the corridor, that's okay; we’re always on the lookout for motivated individuals ready to step up. From operators, truck drivers to skilled labourers, there’s a place for you in our crews.
Our crew meet KiwiRail Health & Safety medical standards and hold all required inductions and competencies. Every worker we supply is prepared, qualified, and ready to operate safely within the rail corridor.
We guide you through every step of becoming rail‑ready, including medicals, inductions, and competency training. Our experienced Rail Advisors use their industry connections to link you with clients who offer consistent, long‑term opportunities. You’ll gain the skills, support, and confidence to build a stable and rewarding career in the rail sector.
