Every day, more than 80 000 colleagues lead the way to greener and smarter mobility worldwide, connecting cities as we reduce carbon and replace cars.

Your future role

Take on a new challenge and apply your signalling and engineering expertise in a transformative project that will redefine public transit in Canada. You’ll work alongside a collaborative and innovative team of professionals dedicated to delivering excellence.

• Reviewing installation designs, including drawings and method statements
• Conducting site surveys to identify potential constraints and reporting them to the design team
• Developing work plans, Job Hazard Assessments (JHA), and track access and safety documents
• Managing installation tools, including regular inspections and calibration
• Ensuring “as built” and “as installed” documentation is completed before revenue service
• Interfacing with internal subsystems within the project
• Preparing and presenting technical solutions to internal and external stakeholders
• Overseeing installation of signalling assets, including site material logistics, laydown areas, access points, lifting plans, and warehousing processes
