Exciting projects.

Safeguarding railway operations, signalling, signal box controlling and level crossings – you cover the entire scope of services for railway projects in the field of Safety Installations and Train Control Systems.The broad spectrum of work covered by our Project Managers for Safety Installations is extraordinary. You are responsible for all phases, from the initial study through to complete implementation. During the preliminary project phase, you analyse the situation and opportunities and evaluate these. In the project phase, we count on your accurate calculations of costs and intervals. During project implementation, you monitor project progress on site and ensure quality standards.

Uniquely fascinating.

Each project brings exciting new challenges and is therefore unique. Our Project Managers for Safety Installations can directly track the effects of their accomplishments. You work in a structured way but enjoy freedom to make decisions and conscientiously bear the complex responsibility for safety aspects on a daily basis. Your motivation is your responsibility for the safety of our customers across Switzerland.

Besides your technical aptitude, a degree in electrical engineering (or comparable) is pivotal to employment as a Project Manager for Safety Installations. With your talent for communications, coordination capabilities, great awareness of your responsibility and excellent social skills, you will go far with us. Leadership and project management skills are also essential.

At a later date, you will be able to complete various ‘placements’ throughout Switzerland to further develop your linguistic and technical skills. Or you can have the opportunity to take on larger projects and enjoy greater responsibility.

Given the scale of our tasks and our responsibility, we at SBB rely on teamwork. Here, togetherness and community count, and the same applies to your role as Project Manager for Safety Installations. The common goal of customer safety develops team spirit. The team can vary depending on project size. As a pair or in a group of 20 passionate colleagues, you come into contact with other divisions and can interact with specialist units.

Where possible, we rely on flexible working time and enable working when travelling or at home. Placing in service and works inspections are rare but are implemented at weekends and during the night. Dates are set early enough for our Project Managers for Safety Installations to plan their free time and combine their private lives easily with their occupational activities.
