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 Technician to support the validation and commissioning of 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

• Support Verification & Validation and commissioning activities across signalling projects
• Execute testing procedures and maintain accurate test documentation
• Identify, troubleshoot and support the correction of system defects
• Ensure test tools are calibrated, operational and compliant with project requirements
• Replace defective equipment and coordinate repairs according to established procedures
• Follow instructions from the Sub-system T&C Engineer and/or T&C Leader while contributing to project delivery

You'll work with sharp, committed teams across engineering, commissioning and project delivery - solving complex challenges that shape the future of mobility.

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.
