• Develop technical studies, drawings, reports, etc., and manage reviews with authorities within your technical area, either independently or in collaboration with clients. Provide technical consulting in select areas as well.

Your skills. Our team. Together we create the future.

Additionally, you have:

• A degree in engineering or an equivalent relevant education in railway engineering.
