We are looking for a part time Operation Specialist as part of our Engineering team in the Fjernbane project – the project responsible for the introduction of a new signalling system based on ERTMS technology in Denmark.

The system is aligned with the European standard, European Railway Traffic Management System (ERTMS). Replacing the system on the entire railway makes Denmark the first country to implement ERTMS on a national scale.
