Railway Signalling Systems Technician
As a Railway Signalling Systems Technician, you will play a crucial role in ensuring that the rail infrastructure functions safely and reliably. You will be responsible for carrying out maintenance, inspections, and improvements to signalling systems, helping trains run safely and on time.
No two days are the same: whether it’s early in the morning, late at night, under the sun or in the rain, you and your team are always ready. Your mission is simple: ensure that your assigned section of the railway signalling network remains fault-free. Even if you don’t know everything about signalling yet, that’s no problem — with your strong technical foundation and eagerness to learn, we’ll make sure you get the necessary training and certifications to become an expert in this vital field.
