A career at Hitachi Rail will help create a legacy. With operations in every corner of the world, our work goes to the cutting‑edge of digital transformation and technology. From the multi‑cultural strength of our global organisation to the sustainable and innovative ways we work to bring people together, there’s something for everyone to get stuck into. Hitachi Rail is looking for an enthusiastic self‑motivated Maintenance Engineer who thrives in a fast‑paced environment. The successful candidate is comfortable performing a wide range of tasks from administrative to strategic. The maintenance technician 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 technician will have to solve faults but if the issue cannot be resolved, he 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 and the technician will be on‑call for some nights and weekends.

The maintenance technician is not expected to be an expert in any of the Metro Subway systems or on railway signalling 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.
