Location: Saint-Bruno, QC, CA
Company: Alstom
At Alstom, we build what millions depend on daily - rail transportation systems that can't afford to fail. We're more than 85,000 people worldwide creating the industry's most diverse portfolio: high-speed trains, metros, trams, maintenance services and integrated systems.
More than a job: a mission
Launch your Engineering career through a 24-month rotational programme designed to prepare you for a role in Reliability, Availability, Maintainability and Safety (RAMS).
Work alongside multidisciplinary Engineering teams while building the technical breadth to understand railway systems—from requirements and architecture to electrical design, verification, validation, reliability and safety.
Your journey includes four six-month rotations across complementary Engineering disciplines, with a final rotation in RAMS to bring your learning together:
1. Build your train-level perspective — Train System
Discover how system requirements, functions, architectures and interfaces come together to shape a train as an integrated system.
2. Explore system integration — Train Control
Gain experience in another systems engineering discipline and deepen your understanding of requirements, interfaces and system integration.
3. Broaden your Engineering experience — Electrical Schematic Engineering or Certification & Validation
Explore the electrical engineering aspects of rolling stock in Electrical Schematic Engineering. Alternatively, discover how railway systems are verified and validated in Certification & Validation, particularly through Train Lab or simulation activities.
4. Bring it all together — RAMS
Apply the knowledge gained throughout the programme and specialise in either Reliability Performance or Product Safety & Reliability.
Discover the RAMS engineering lifecycle through activities such as preliminary reliability and safety analyses, requirements allocation, hazard analysis and management, reliability modelling, and actions to mitigate RAM risks.
By the end of the programme, you’ll have built a broader understanding of railway systems and practical experience to continue growing towards your target role: RAMS Engineer, focusing on Reliability Performance or Product Safety & Reliability.
Your role, your impact
Throughout the programme, you’ll progressively build your skills and contribute to activities such as:
- Performing reliability and safety analyses and producing deliverables in line with Quality, Cost and Delivery (QCD) commitments;
- Applying Alstom’s Engineering and RAMS processes and instructions;
- Preparing RAMS analyses that meet customer and project requirements;
- Addressing comments from customers and independent parties to support approval of RAMS deliverables;
- Assessing product RAMS performance and identifying the requirements needed to meet targets;
- Reporting on progress, proactively addressing challenges and contributing to continuous improvement.
You’ll work with committed Engineering teams tackling complex challenges that shape the future of mobility. Your contribution will help develop the trains that move people and connect communities.
What you bring
You don’t need to arrive knowing everything about trains or RAMS. The programme is designed for you to learn. What matters is a strong Engineering foundation, curiosity and the motivation to understand what makes railway systems reliable and safe.
- A recent bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering or another relevant Engineering field;
- An understanding of fundamental Engineering and systems principles, including core mechanical engineering concepts;
- An interest in reliability, safety, systems engineering and complex railway applications;
- Curiosity about how requirements, system architecture and multidisciplinary integration come together;
- An interest in reliability analysis, product safety, verification and validation;
- Strong analytical skills and a growth mindset, with the motivation to ask questions and keep learning;
- The ability to communicate and collaborate effectively in multidisciplinary teams;
- Fluency in English and French;
- Curiosity and enthusiasm for working across different Engineering disciplines;
- The motivation to complete a structured four-rotation Engineering development programme.
How success is measured
- Steady progress through each rotation, with demonstrated technical and professional growth;
- Quality and accuracy in Engineering deliverables and documentation;
- Positive collaboration and contribution to a safe, inclusive and high-performing team culture.
Alstom, a great place to grow
- Build your Engineering career through diverse, real-world train development experiences;
- Explore innovative mobility projects and benefit from technical mentorship in Saint-Bruno;
- Contribute to Alstom’s mission to deliver greener, smarter and more connected transport solutions.
Here, progress isn’t always easy. The scale is massive and the challenges are complex, but the impact is real. When the system works, the train moves and communities connect. That feeling stays with you. And the legacy lasts.
Language
Knowledge of a language other than French is an asset when dealing with our international partners, suppliers, colleagues and customers. In Quebec, French remains the main working language of our company.
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!
