• Being responsible for the execution of the Installation supervision and T&C activities related to a railway signaling subsystem (e.g. IXL, ATC, DCS, ...) up to its successful completion and handover to customer or warranty.
• Executing test activities over railway signaling systems and ensure that Test & Commissioning process is executed based on approved procedures, in a proper manner and in compliance to standards, regulations, and local laws.
• Ensuring all required installation documentation provided by designers and instruction changes (including field modifications – FMI) are adequately recorded, reported and approved.
• Conducting troubleshooting of wayside/railway systems and equipment to identify root cause of failures and integration issues, and identify/define containment and sustainable solutions, with support of the Test team and Engineering.
• Ensuring that safety and EHS is enforced in all steps leading toward solutions and during execution.
• Reporting all test and field work in a timely manner. Ensure identification of non-conformities, defects, and workmanship issues

• Sharing findings with Installation, Test & Commissioning (ITC), and project management teams

• Being available to work in the field, including night shifts, and for short or long missions in different locations
• Being able to lift 40 pounds unassisted and walk quickly on uneven surfaces in full personal protection equipment (PPE). 

All about you
