Railway Signalling Engineer

When you come to work at Davidson, you won’t just be joining a group of 3,000 consultants in 6 countries and 2 continents, you’ll be joining “the” company named by its employees as Great Place To Work France and Europe for four years, as well as the largest B Corp in France.
“B Corps” form a community of companies that have decided that, rather than being the best in the world, they’ll be the best *for* the world.
Our growth is based on strong principles:
Deep respect for all our stakeholders: consultants, customers and suppliers, because although work can’t “buy happiness”, it can “cause unhappiness”. We’re therefore committed to listening, acting honestly and promoting equality (Women / Men but not only).
A minimum environmental footprint and a maximum societal footprint. This is why, aside from the assignments you’ll be working on, you’ll also have the chance to contribute to the projects Davidson supports: international solidarity assignments (with Planète Urgence), supporting students from disadvantaged backgrounds (with Article 1) and investing in start-ups that develop innovative solutions.
Adhocratic management based on implementing “horizontal company” and “tribal management” principles.

One important point about the latter: well-being at work is a luxury you need to have as a “solid” company. For the Davidson teams, this means marrying initiative, commitment and professionalism, as “without work, talent is just a dirty habit”. It drives us to recruit components that are better than we are. In a classic hierarchical organisation, it can be beneficial to have an army of people who work for you. In an adhocracy, that doesn’t work.

**Mission / Profile**:
As we expand our business activities, we are looking for a railway signalling engineer to join our teams. Signalling is key to ensuring the safety and smooth running of rail transport systems. As a railway signalling engineer, your role will be to work on one of our standard rail, high-speed, metro or tramway line projects.

You will be responsible for issues as diverse as:

- Checking the implementation studies for ground signalling systems (trackside functional modules, interlockings, etc.)
- Managing system configurations throughout the study process
- Liaising with the project customer to handle their technical requests
- Coordinating research activities with the various stakeholders (project team, work analysis technicians and subcontractors)

**Skills (pre-existing or to be acquired)**:

- Engineering degree or Masters
- Maybe you’ve only had initial experience in this field? No worries; we’re hiring at all seniority levels
- Technical plans and blueprints are your daily bread and butter. Your knowledge covers next-generation automated systems (ERTMS, CBTC)

**Talents/soft skills**:

- You’re a natural diplomat, and you’ll integrate easily into a project team that works under considerable scheduling constraints
