Senior Mechanical Engineer

No waiting, no hassle, no drivers. Most people in Copenhagen take for granted that the next Metro will arrive in a few minutes. But you know that it requires great engineering skills to keep a system like the Copenhagen Metro looking simple and intuitive to the public.

If you also happen to be a Senior Mechanical Engineer, 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. 

Our ongoing metro and light rail projects as well as those under development require the preparation and review of design throughout all phases. Your role will entail collaborating with our contractors and/or consultants to ensure the deliverables comply with the relevant requirements, codes and standards and incorporate “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.

About you

• You are cooperative and a good communicator.
