About the job
Deutsche Bahn is not only one of the most important mobility service providers but also one of the largest engineering firms in Germany. To realise and sustainably maintain new bridges, tunnels, stations, tracks, and signalling systems, more than 10,000 engineers currently work with us – far from enough. As an engineer at Deutsche Bahn, you can plan, manage, or supervise something that lasts: the infrastructure for future generations.
We are looking for you as a Project Engineer: Vehicle and Production Technology (m/f/d) for DB Regio AG at the Freiburg im Breisgau location as soon as possible.
Your tasks:
- Within your role, you are responsible for demanding technical issues in vehicle and maintenance technology and develop viable concepts, solution variants, and implementation strategies from them
- You analyse technical contexts down to the implementation depth, accompany the realisation on site, and ensure that solutions meet technical, normative, legal, and economic requirements
- Furthermore, you structure complex project and decision matters, assess dependencies, risks, and options for action, thereby creating a reliable basis for well-founded decisions
- You prepare service descriptions and technical specifications for commissions, procurements, and technical determinations and transparently document project statuses, evaluations, measures, deviations, and results
- In addition, you communicate project status, risks, goal conflicts, and decision needs clearly, appropriately for the target group, and convincingly to interfaces, stakeholders, and decision-makers
- Moreover, you take on the technical support of the assigned vehicle series in the ECM3 function according to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/779
Your profile:
- You have successfully completed a technical or university degree in Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a comparable engineering discipline
- You bring experience in technical project management, preferably in a demanding technical or industrial environment or ideally in the field of rail vehicle technology
- You work analytically, structured, and solution-oriented and keep an overview of technical, organisational, and economic contexts even with high complexity
- Additionally, you have a good understanding of digital applications and ideally bring practical experience with Power Automate, Power BI, or comparable tools for process support
- You use modern AI applications and agents purposefully to make work processes more efficient, prepare information, and effectively support technical and organisational tasks
- With pronounced communication skills, confident coordination ability, and a poised appearance, you bring together different interests, combine assertiveness with diplomatic sensitivity, and win participants for common, viable solutions
