Come shape the future of American travel by joining the Brightline West team. We are working to reimagine greener, better, and faster train travel!
Brightline developed and currently owns and operates the Brightline Florida, a passenger train line running from Miami to Orlando. Brightline West is a proposed $12 billion high-speed rail development to connect Vegas and LA. The project received a $3 billion federal grant from the U.S. government in December 2023 and is now in the process to raise the remaining private capital needed (debt and equity) to commence construction on the rail line. Brightline's business plan is to build transportation systems and develop traditional real estate around the stations. The developments make the transportation systems more valuable and conversely the transportation systems make the residential, office and retail developments more valuable. This was successfully executed in Miami, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach and the team intends to replicate this at a larger scale with the Brightline West project, particularly with a large, master planned development in Las Vegas. Brightline is a Fortress portfolio company and the New York-based Brightline team sits in the Fortress office in Chelsea.
We are looking for talented individuals to join Brightline West, who share our pioneering mindset for building something that's the first of its kind and have a bright vision for redefining the future of American travel.
