The role
At Alstom, we build what millions depend on daily - rail transportation systems that can't afford to fail. We're more than 85 000 people worldwide creating the industry's most diverse portfolio: high-speed trains, metros, trams, maintenance services and integrated systems.
More than a job: a mission
We're looking for a Test & Commissioning Engineer to support the testing and commissioning of urban railway signalling systems that keep cities moving safely and efficiently. You'll work alongside people who show up with ownership, passion, and dedication - because they know what's at stake: the journey home.
What you'll do
- Prepare and execute testing and commissioning activities for railway signalling systems
- Support one or several projects by performing system integration, testing and troubleshooting of signalling equipment
- Ensure non-conformities are correctly reported, documented and tracked through the appropriate tools
- Deliver commissioning reports and support defect resolution activities
- Verify that testing tools are calibrated and fully operational
- 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
Alstom, a great place to grow
- 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.
