• Performing field inspections to ensure compliance with safety policies, procedures, and approved work methods.
• Supporting the commissioning team during the testing phase and ensuring seamless handovers with appropriate documentation.
• Analyzing requirements and proposing cost-effective solutions to the track lead engineer.
• Ensuring the design adheres to health and safety standards.
• Coordinating with other entities (e.g., other Alstom activities, civil work partners) on technical interfaces, especially with civil works.
• Resolving technical open issues on-site, from investigation to modification implementation and problem closure.
• Planning, executing, monitoring, and controlling design, configuration, maintenance, testing, and commissioning activities for telecommunication systems.
• Maintaining and coordinating As-Built Documentation submissions.
• Deploying and sizing networks, including fiber optic transmission and other physical deployments.
• Monitoring and maintaining network performance using tools like protocol analyzers and quality of service indicators.
