Abstract
Scientific and technological progress amid the process of global digitalisation has prompted the demand for professions in relevant fields such as logistics, analytics, agriculture, industrial manufacturing, transport, and primarily for engineering and technical workers. Russian railways require not only physical infrastructure, but also digital skills of its operation by engineering and technical workers in order to integrate into the digital economy. The aim of the article is to study modern requirements for the professional competencies of railway engineers, primarily their digital literacy and the ability to work with special software. The authors mention the need for an engineer to have softskills and hardskills. The article provides a list of the main software complexes that are included in the special digital competencies of a railway engineer.The authors of the article through the example of railway transport, describe the directions of digitalisation of railway transport, which is a link between the branches of the national and partly global economy. The emphasise the advanced development of scientific and technological progress in the transport industry – the “Digital Railway” project, which generates related tasks, one of which is the modern training of engineering personnel and the consolidation of digital competencies and metaskills in professional standards.
