Could you be the full-time Power Supply Design Senior Engineer in Cairo we’re looking for?

Your future role

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

You'll help shape the future of traction power supply systems, ensuring high-quality standards and reliable solutions for our projects. Day-to-day, you’ll work closely with teams across the business (such as systems, RAMS, EMC, and procurement), provide technical support, and manage interfaces between multiple subsystems and stakeholders, and much more.

You’ll specifically take care of designing power supply systems and validating their implementation, but also contribute to traction simulation inputs, testing procedures, and supplier evaluations.

We’ll look to you for:

• Performing basic and detailed engineering activities for AC and DC traction power supply systems for metro, tram, and mainline projects

• Providing electrical architectures, technical specifications, functional specifications, and interface specifications

• Writing and modifying calculation notes, and ensuring compliance with technical standards

• Managing interfaces between traction power and other subsystems

• Defining traction power architectures, operational modes, and functionalities

• Writing sub-system specifications and coordinating testing, validation, and supplier evaluations

• Providing technical support to construction and test teams, and participating in site testing and commissioning

• Performing project-level and metier-level reporting, and supporting risk mitigation plans

• Contributing to as-built documentation and sharing return-on-experience insights

• Collaborating with regional and central engineering teams, customers, project management teams, suppliers, and subcontractors

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:

• Degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field

• 5-7 years of experience in the electrical design field, with railway experience preferred

• Experience in electrical power distribution design (e.g., space program, cable routing, earthing design, equipment sizing, calculations for voltage drop, short circuit, power factor, and selectivity), both manually and using software (e.g., ETAP, SKM, Ecodial, E-design)

• Proficiency in drafting software (e.g., AutoCAD, Draftsight)

• Knowledge of electrical power equipment specifications (e.g., MVSGs, transformers, LV panels, cables, UPSs, and generators)

• Basic understanding of automation and communication protocols (e.g., Modbus, IEC61850, Ethernet IP)

• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to manage technical issues

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 that make a real difference

• Utilise our flexible and inclusive 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 programs

• Progress towards senior technical or managerial roles

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!
