You’ll specifically take care of coordinating and prioritizing ESRs, developing budgets and scopes for engineering support, facilitating Design Authority reviews and approvals, and supporting engineering change and configuration management processes, while contributing to obsolescence and technical solutions as required.

Your Role, Your Impact  

• Coordinating, prioritizing, and tracking Engineering Service Requests (ESRs) based on customer needs, technical complexity, resource availability, schedule, and business priorities.

• Developing scopes, estimates, and budgets for ESRs and engineering activities to secure appropriate support, funding, and approval from the Design Authority and relevant stakeholders.

• Coordinating with Design Authority, Engineering, Project Management, Supply Chain, and other stakeholders to ensure technical requests progress efficiently from initiation through resolution.

• Initiating and coordinating engineering work requests and change requests, supporting Configuration Management processes and ensuring appropriate technical documentation, reviews, and approvals are completed.

What You Bring   

• Bachelor's degree in Electronics, Automation Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.

• Experience working in an engineering, project coordination, technical project, aftermarket, or similar cross-functional environment.

• Strong organizational skills with the ability to prioritize multiple engineering requests, manage competing requirements, and coordinate activities across multiple stakeholders.

• Ability to develop and track engineering scopes, estimates, budgets, schedules, and deliverables.

• Understanding of engineering change, work request, and/or configuration management processes.

• Experience in the rail or transportation industry, particularly with automated people movers, high/low voltage equipment, or electronic components, is an asset but not required.

• Knowledge of procurement specifications and technical requirements, or the ability to coordinate their development with engineering specialists.
