- Analyzing major service interruptions and developing comprehensive engineering incident/investigation reports, including root cause analysis and corrective action.
- Developing and maintaining preventive and corrective maintenance programs in line with contractual requirements and company directives.
- Creating and delivering technical training, testing, and certification documents, and teaching classes as needed.
- Handling field requests, temporary change notices, and system improvements through established company channels.

- Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or a related field.
- At least 3 years of relevant mechanical experience with trains or rolling stock, and 2 years of engineering or technical experience.
- Relevant certifications (AutoCAD) are preferred.
- Strong customer service skills, proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, PowerPoint, Excel), and effective communication skills in English.
- Ability to pass local security screening and background requirements, and availability to support shifts on short notice.
- Proven success in leading teams, especially in a blue-collar, union environment, is a plus.
- Demonstrated ability to identify and resolve technical and situational problems efficiently.
