Installation - Onboard Electrical Team Leader

Location: Toronto, ON, CA

At Alstom, we understand transport networks and what moves people. From high-speed trains, metros, monorails, and trams, to turnkey systems, services, infrastructure, signalling and digital mobility, we offer our diverse customers the broadest portfolio in the industry. 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.

Could you be the full-time Onboard Electrical Team Leader in Toronto, ON, we’re looking for?

Your future role

Take on a new challenge and apply your electrical expertise in a cutting-edge field. You’ll work alongside skilled and collaborative teammates.

You’ll play a key role in ensuring and performing the installation, diagnosis, and resolution of electrical faults in both high and low-voltage systems, contributing to the transformation of the Greater Toronto and Hamilton areas (GTHA) transit system. Day-to-day, you’ll work closely with teams across the business (installation supervisors, project site managers, and design teams), ensure compliance with safety standards, and provide proactive suggestions for process improvements, and much more.

You’ll specifically take care of maintaining updated electrical schematics and troubleshooting electrical faults, but also contribute to the development of test plans to validate system modifications.

We’ll look to you for:

• Ensuring compliance with design documentation and supervisor instructions
• Maintaining adherence to Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) procedures and policies
• Using APSYS tools or templates for risk documentation and mitigation
• Developing and executing test plans for system validation
• Troubleshooting and diagnosing complex electrical faults on high and low-voltage systems
• Installing, replacing, and repairing electrical wiring and components
• Confirming installation readiness and ensuring activities are performed without deviations
• Reporting risks, deviations, or issues that may impact safety, quality, or performance

All about you

We value passion and attitude over experience. That’s why we don’t expect you to have every single skill. Instead, we’ve listed some that we think will help you succeed and grow in this role:

• Diploma or Certificate in Electrical Technology, Industrial Electrician, or a related field
• Technical High-School Diploma
• Experience or understanding of railway maintenance facilities, rolling stock assembly, or similar industrial settings
• Knowledge of Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) protocols, including Lockout/Tagout (LOTO)
• Familiarity with diagnostic tools such as multimeters and continuity testers
• A 309A or 422A skilled trade certification from Ontario (desirable)
• Ability to work collaboratively in multi-disciplinary teams

Things you’ll enjoy

Join us on a life-long transformative journey – the rail industry is here to stay, so you can grow and develop new skills and experiences throughout your career. You’ll also:

• Enjoy stability, challenges and a long-term career free from boring daily routines
• Work with new security standards for rail signalling
• Collaborate with transverse teams and helpful colleagues
• Contribute to innovative projects
• Utilise our inclusive and flexible 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
• Progress towards roles such as Senior Technician or Team Leader
• Benefit from a fair and dynamic reward package that recognises your performance and potential, plus comprehensive and competitive social coverage (life, medical, pension)

You don’t need to be a train enthusiast to thrive with us. We guarantee that when you step onto one of our trains with your friends or family, you’ll be proud. If you’re up for the challenge, we’d love to hear from you!
