Requirements

What we're looking for

  • Technical interest and no objection to working outdoors.

  • You are following a BBL training in Mechanical Engineering or Mechatronics - or are about to start.

  • You are motivated, eager to learn, and proactive.

  • You enjoy working in a team and prioritize safety highly.

Pay & benefits

What you'll get

  • A close-knit team with a passion for technology and railway safety.
