Technical Fleet Management system engineer (90%) and firefighter with a strong family commitment.
Varied work which is never mundane.
Your diverse job sees you helping to ensure the safety, availability and reliability of the train fleets every day. You work on the vehicles both in your office and on site: you define requirements and check the technical feasibility of maintenance stipulations, both on your own and together with the staff responsible for the vehicles. In cases of obsolescence, you help search for suitable substitute solutions. Your expertise on site is required when recording the state of stock with a view to an overhaul, maintenance or modernisation, in particular following incidents.
You ensure safety.
In your work, you use Office 365, SAP, Confluence and Jira. This means that your work is always structured, independent and target-driven. Our Technical Fleet Management engineers use their expertise to investigate potential risk factors and rule them out to the best of their knowledge and in good conscience. In this context, minimising risk and ensuring the safety of the train fleets are our top priority. This way you keep Switzerland moving and achieve great things for our 1.25 million passengers every day.
Passionate about your work.
Your day-to-day working life is extremely varied, as projects run in parallel. But you are always aware of the overall picture and can set your priorities appropriately. Our Technical Fleet Management engineers can judge the level of importance and involvement of the relevant people. As you carry out this complex work, you always remain aware of the scale of SBB and its image and take the given laws, rules and standards seriously. You master this great task with skill and stamina. You live out your enthusiasm for railways and technology in your work with the various systems serving our train fleets.
You can join us after graduating with a technical degree (university of applied sciences or university/Federal Institute of Technology). Afterwards, many personal and career development opportunities are open to you. Your innovative spirit and forward thinking help you make progress every day. Though you are very independent and take responsibility for yourself, this is a job where you enjoy communicating and receiving support in a team.
Your qualifications and your commitment are key to our success. We therefore provide targeted support to help you meet your personal needs and ambitions. We are also involved in external further training courses, either in terms of time or financial contribution. Because only up-to-date specialist knowledge lets you progress personally and, at the same time, helps our company to stay ahead in terms of technology.
Where possible, we implement modern ways of working. Mobile working means working away from your normal place of work. That can mean working from home, while on the move, on customers’ premises or in other contexts within and outside of SBB. Part-time work is also an option for Technical Fleet Management engineers. Normally you work during standard office hours. However, you are also flexible enough to sometimes work at night or at the weekend.
Given the scale of our tasks and the responsibility we shoulder, we at SBB rely on teamwork. Togetherness, community and respect matter to us, including in your role as a Technical Fleet Management engineer. You are happy to work in different teams as their composition changes over time and are open to input, be it from team colleagues or from staff in other areas. Exchanging information every day, week or month requires you to be a skilful communicator and independent worker. Solid knowledge of German and mastery of other national languages and English help you to communicate across Switzerland and internationally. In your role as a Technical Fleet Management engineer, you provide support to our main workshops and service installations across Switzerland from Yverdon to Bellinzona, and always put collaboration first.
Here you can be proud of your work. We value your knowledge as an engineer every day. Because it’s that knowledge that allows both you and us to make progress. As a Technical Fleet Management engineer, you ensure the safety of our customers and your colleagues.
