The Győr-Sopron-Ebenfurti Vasút (GYSEV) is hiring a special new expert: a chief landscape architect. This decision comes from the top, as Dávid Vitézy, the Minister for Transport and Investment, announced the news. The goal is to bring a fresh, modern approach to how railway greenery is managed across the region.
Railways own a vast amount of land across the country. Until now, managing the green spaces beside the tracks—the trees, grass, and plants—has focused heavily on safety. While safety will always remain the absolute top priority, the minister has asked an important question: Are all the current rules still justified, or do some lead to unnecessary tree cutting?
This is where the new chief landscape architect comes in. This expert will have a strategic job. They will be responsible for balancing three crucial things: railway safety, environmental protection, and modern, sustainable land management. They will look at the railway’s green areas through a 21st-century lens, using up-to-date knowledge to decide which rules need updating.
The minister emphasized that this is about smart management. It’s not about compromising safety but about managing the land in a way that is both safe and ecologically sound. The aim is to create a greener, more sustainable railway network for Western Hungary.
GYSEV is looking for a professional with a strategic vision and innovative ideas to help build this future. The company hopes to find someone who can guide its approach to green spaces for years to come.
This follows a similar position created at the national railway group, MÁV, showing a nationwide shift in thinking. For those interested in blending transport, nature, and sustainability, the application is open on the GYSEV career portal.
