About the job
We have a variety of important professions that require specialised knowledge. That is why we rely on people who want to reorient and develop themselves professionally.
You will undergo a tailored internal training programme that supports you on the path to becoming a signal mechanic. In the process, you will further develop your skills and acquire extensive knowledge for your new role.
We are looking for you as a signal mechanic (m/f/d) for DB InfraGO AG in Basel at the earliest possible date. As part of a qualification, you will initially start as a skilled worker in the field of control and safety technology. During the first 18 months with us, you will go through several development stages until you reach the target position of signal mechanic. Beyond that, you can continue to develop professionally.
Already during your qualification, you will take on the following tasks:
- You are responsible for the maintenance of a variety of different systems in the field of control and safety technology, with a focus on inspection, repair and troubleshooting of electrical and mechanical components, e.g. signals, points, level crossings
- Using modern measuring devices, you record and assess the condition of the systems and are responsible for the technical documentation
- You usually carry out the tasks in your regional area in a team, independently and reliably
- Your work starts and ends daily at your central base in Basel
- You go through our internal qualification programme, regularly attend further training and continuously learn
Your profile:
- You have successfully completed training in electrical engineering, e.g. as an electrician, mechatronics technician, electrical specialist in industry, electronics technician for operational technology or automation technology
- After comprehensive familiarisation, you are ready to participate in the rotating on-call duty (every 4-5 weeks)
- You don’t mind working outdoors, as many of our systems are located in the track area
- You always work reliably, are a team player and flexible
- A valid driving licence class B is an advantage
Applications from already trained signal mechanics and points mechanics are of course also welcome.
What is important to us:
Our aim is to offer all candidates the same opportunities to join us if they have equal suitability. We actively promote diversity and cooperation in our teams. We value every application, regardless of gender, nationality, ethnic and social origin, religion, belief, disability, age, duration of unemployment, as well as sexual orientation and identity.
