Description

The maintenance engineer is responsible for providing on-site technical activities for the trackside and onboard Signalling ATC (ATS, IXL, CBTC). These systems are predominantly electronic, software based systems, many of which are built using Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) computer hardware. This is a 1st and 2nd line support role. When called out, the maintenance engineer will have to solve the fault, but if the issue cannot be resolved, they will liaise with the appropriate 3rd Line System Expert (HITACHI Support).

Working hours will be a nominal 40 hours per week, but flexible working is essential to accommodate client maintenance periods. The engineer will be on-call for some nights and weekends. The engineer must be domiciled not far from the metro depot and its sites in general, to reach the location of the fault in the shortest possible time when service calls are received.

The maintenance engineer is not expected to be an expert in any of the Metro Subway systems or on railway signaling but will be expected to have a high level of computer / control system skills. Engineers with experience of working on electronic systems for utilities, Oil & Gas, Railway, etc., are likely to be the most suitable candidates, but a practical IT Support engineer used to installing software might also be considered.
