Your future role

You will report to Operations Manager Niclas Pettersson and work together in a group with competent and engaged colleagues who will help you get into the work and the team in the best possible way.

The team you are part of consists of a shift leader and 5 other technicians, and you will also collaborate with other functions within the depot.

Your task, together with your colleagues, is to perform preventive maintenance and corrective troubleshooting of trains. The role includes assessing the traffic safety condition. You must be able to follow written instructions and carry out maintenance and commissioning according to them within the promised time.

At our depot in Gävle, we work with Regina trains, X50-X54.

The position also includes:

• Performing maintenance, fault correction, and modifications on vehicles.
• Work is performed according to instructions in existing systems.
• Registering and documenting information in our current systems regarding, for example, action text, materials used, etc.
• Occasionally troubleshooting and performing corrections of electrical faults on vehicles with the support of troubleshooters.

Who are you?

To succeed as a Service Technician, you need to have strong technical competence, an eye for detail, and good communication skills to effectively operate and thrive in the work team.

You need to be structured and enjoy working according to clear processes. We also believe you enjoy working against deadlines to get the trains out on time. You are good at organizing and planning your work well.

We also believe you are analytical and enjoy performing technical troubleshooting and finding solutions to problems. Furthermore, it is important that you are meticulous and have a high sense of responsibility, as work as a train technician has a direct impact on the safety and health of all passengers.

To succeed in the role:

We value passion and attitude over experience. That is why we do not expect you to have all the skills. Instead, we have listed some that we believe will help you succeed and grow in this role:

• Education/experience or a great passion for maintenance of heavy machinery or vehicles.
• You find it easy to communicate and collaborate with other people, but also to work independently towards set goals.
• Experience or understanding of technical work in the aviation, industrial, or automotive industry, or similar, where repair and troubleshooting of mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, and digital control systems have been part of your daily life.
• We would like you to be accustomed to replacing electrical and mechanical components according to drawings and instructions.
• If you have good knowledge of electricity, that is a big plus.
• Knowledge of troubleshooting and the ability to solve complex problems is an asset.
• Familiarity with the train industry is an asset.
• Good language skills in Swedish and English.
• A driver's license is desirable as travel between depots may occur.

Since the tasks are of significance for traffic safety, a passed medical health examination is required before any employment can begin; this is arranged by Alstom.

The work involves shift work.
