Senior Mechanical Engineer

Do you see yourself as the Mechanical Engineering anchor of the coming Metro extensions in Copenhagen and the reinvestments in the current M1/M2?
If you are a Senior Mechanical Engineer with a keen interest in safety, efficiency and innovation, you could be the new colleague we are looking for to contribute to our work in strengthening public transport in the capital region.

As a Senior Mechanical Engineer, you will be part of the Engineering Design Team, whose main task is the design review and coordination of our metro and light rail projects. You will contribute to maintaining an effective collaboration among the different disciplines in the unit as well as in the interface with the other units in Metroselskabet’s matrix organization. The design of the upcoming metro projects in Copenhagen is initiated with ambitious sustainability targets for implementation throughout the next phases. Your role will entail collaborating with our consultants and later on the contractors to ensure the deliverables and supplies comply with the relevant requirements, codes and standards and incorporate innovative ideas and “Safety in Design”.  During the construction phase, you will support the supervision team in resolving technical issues and agreeing solutions to ensure compliance, site progress and quality.

The Engineering unit is a key participant in Copenhagen Metro Innovation Program which entails the study and eventual implementation of technologies, methods and materials to reduce the carbon footprint of our projects and contribute to a more sustainable future. You will be part of a team evaluating the relevant possibilities with due focus on the associated benefits, risks and implementation framework. Finally, Metroselskabet has an extensive portfolio of reinvestment projects in the existing metro network, where the Engineering unit participates as a key contributor of technical input and assessment.
