Description

Hitachi Rail is looking for an enthusiastic self‑motivated Maintenance Engineer who thrives in a fast‑paced environment. The successful candidate is comfortable performing a wide range of tasks from administrative to strategic. The position is based in Genoa, Italy.

Mission

The maintenance technician is responsible for providing on‑site technical activities for the trackside and onboard signalling ATC (ATS, IXL, CBTC). These systems are predominantly electronic, software‑based systems, many of which are built using Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) computer hardware. This is a 1st and 2nd line support role.

When called out, the maintenance technician will have to solve faults but if the issue cannot be resolved, he will liaise with the appropriate 3rd Line System Expert (HITACHI Support).

The maintenance technician is not expected to be an expert in any of the Metro Subway systems or on railway signalling but will be expected to have a high level of computer/control system skills. Engineers with experience of working on electronic systems for utilities, oil & gas, railway etc are likely to be the most suitable candidates, but a practical IT support engineer used to installing software might also be considered.

Accountabilities

• Observes ATC system components and devices in operation to detect potential failures and locates causes of malfunction. Responds to ATC malfunctions, instituting repairs/replacements as necessary.
