Your future role

Take on a new challenge and apply your project coordination and stakeholder management expertise in a cutting-edge field. You’ll work alongside dynamic, collaborative, and solution-oriented teammates.

You'll play a key role in managing technical interfaces between signalling systems and external stakeholders. Day-to-day, you’ll act as the main technical point of contact for customers, coordinate closely with engineering and project teams, and ensure seamless collaboration across multiple interfacing partners such as track, rolling stock, power supply, and communication systems.

You’ll specifically take care of managing interface-related issues and ensuring alignment between all involved parties, but also support project execution by coordinating communication, tracking issues, and ensuring successful integration during installation and commissioning phases.

We’ll look for you to:

• Act as the main technical interface towards the customer for all interface-related topics on behalf of the Project Engineering Manager
• Support engineering teams by providing clarification and coordinating technical discussions with onshore stakeholders
• Manage and track interface issues with customers and internal project teams
• Coordinate and supervise all external interfaces with contractors (track, power supply, rolling stock, communication systems, etc.)
• Identify and define interface requirements between signalling and other systems
• Establish effective communication and collaboration with interfacing partners to resolve issues
• Organize and lead interface meetings and working groups, ensuring clear documentation (e.g., minutes, reports)
• Ensure customer alignment and approval of interface definitions
• Manage interface changes throughout the project lifecycle
• Support system commissioning by validating correct implementation of interface specifications
• Provide planning inputs for installation and commissioning activities
• Conduct site surveys when required to assess interface conditions and constraints

• Strong communication and negotiation skills
• Ability to manage technical discussions with customers and partners
• Structured and proactive approach to problem-solving and issue tracking
• Willingness to work on-site and perform site assessments when needed
• Fluency in English; German is an advantage
