• Support Verification & Validation teams and perform laboratory testing activities when required

You'll work with sharp, committed teams across engineering, verification & validation, design and installation - solving complex challenges that shape the future of mobility.

How success is measured

• Quality and accuracy of testing and commissioning activities
• Timely identification, reporting and resolution of issues
• Compliance with project procedures and safety requirements
• Effective collaboration with project and V&V teams
• Delivery of complete and reliable commissioning documentation

Requirements

• Degree in Engineering (preferably Electronics, Telecommunications or Embedded Systems) or equivalent experience
• Experience in railway signalling projects
• Good analytical and troubleshooting skills
• Flexibility and mobility for short and long-term assignments in different locations and countries
• Availability to work nights, weekends and public holidays when required
• Team-player mindset, resilience and strong communication skills
• Driving licence
• English knowledge is considered an asset

Pay & benefits

What you'll get

• Enjoy stability, challenges and a long-term career free from boring daily routines
• Collaborate with transverse teams and helpful colleagues
• Contribute to innovative projects
• Utilise our cooperative working environment
• Steer your career in whatever direction you choose across functions and countries
• Benefit from our investment in your development, through award-winning learning
• Benefit from a fair and dynamic reward package that recognises your performance and potential, plus comprehensive and competitive social coverage

Here, progress isn't always easy - the scale is massive, the tasks are complex - but the impact is real. Because when the system runs, the train moves, and the city connects - that feeling stays with you. And the legacy lasts.
