You will have about 20 competent colleagues who are all passionate about the development of Swedish railways and modern signal technology.

Your future manager will be Åsa Zade. For me as a manager, it is important that everyone is seen and develops according to their capabilities, and that everyone feels they contribute to our goals. A strength in my leadership is that I have a good technical understanding, which allows me to comprehend and make decisions in technical challenges.
