Are you Alstom’s next

Test Leader - Field Operations Trackside?

For you who want to work close to the technology – where systems are tested in real-world operations.

Location: Stockholm, Gothenburg, or Hässleholm

Your role – where technology meets reality

This is not an ordinary testing role.

As a Test Leader, you are responsible for planning, leading, and executing testing and commissioning activities within signaling systems along the railway.

• You ensure that everything works – not just on paper, but in real-world operations.
• You work close to the technology, the projects, and the operations, playing a crucial role in ensuring quality, safety, and delivery in some of Sweden’s most advanced infrastructure systems.
• The role involves travel, as the work takes place at various sites in Sweden and occasionally internationally.

Your mission – you make the systems deliver

You will:

• Plan, lead, and execute testing and commissioning activities.
• Develop and quality-assure test documentation (instructions, protocols, reports).
• Ensure that documentation is reviewed, accessible, and correctly archived.
• Coordinate schedules together with the Work Package Owner, Installation, and Commissioning teams.
• Conduct tests and sign off on documentation related to executed activities.
• Ensure that necessary safety measures (e.g., track closures) are carried out.
• Ensure that the right competence and authorizations are present on site.
• Be responsible for work being conducted with a focus on personal safety and quality.

In short: you ensure that the systems along the railway actually work – in reality.
