Alstom won the tender to deliver at least 103 of the Future trains to the Danish railways for delivery over the coming years. In this connection, a Product Introduction department in Copenhagen has been established to ensure the quality of the deliveries, which are planned to begin in 2026. A service department will also be established to handle maintenance of the new train sets. When all train sets have been delivered over a number of years, the employees from the Product Introduction department will become part of the service department.

Alstom offers

You will be offered an interesting and challenging job in an international organisation with a focus on different aspects of green transport.

The workplace is in central Copenhagen.

Travel activity is expected for the first few years, up to about 120 days a year in the European countries where the various train sets are manufactured and tested. Subsequently, much less travel is expected.
