Are you a forward-thinking and aspiring undergraduate in your final year? Join our graduate programme and see for yourself how it differs from any other. Could this be the next exciting step on your journey to your career? If yes, start your graduate programme with us at Siemens Mobility!
It has been recognised that in coming decades the whole UK railway system must be decarbonised to meet our climate commitments and to reduce the cost of operating the railway. This makes it a very exciting time to be joining railway electrification in the UK as new electrification projects are authorised and a new generation of protection and control systems for the electrification network are being developed.
These are the graduate roles available to start next August & their respective locations:-
- High-Voltage Design Engineering - York
- Power Conversion Design Engineering - York
- System Design Engineering - York
- Substation Design Engineering - Coventry
- Digital Substation Design Engineering - York
The Challenge - Develop yourself into a well-rounded engineer in you chosen discipline able to move into an engineer role after your two-year graduate scheme
- Undertake design of electrification and railway systems under the mentorship of a senior designer
- Carry out innovative work and analysis of electrical and mechanical systems using state-of-the-art tools and analytical software
- Communicate technical results effectively within Siemens and to clients, alongside colleagues in the design and project teams
- Undertake other design activities under direction as required to develop broad railway electrical or mechanical engineering knowledge and capability
- Maintain technical and safety standards in all aspects of design work in order that successful project implementation and future reliability is achieved
- Develop own professional knowledge and competence, maintaining an awareness of developments in the industry and identifying opportunities for innovation
- Provide support and input to design engineers, project engineers and manufacturing engineers on allocated projects
- Maintain continuous communication with colleagues and customers to ensure coherent design and customer satisfaction
- Discharge safety responsibilities in relation to CDM Regulations, Health and Safety legislation, Company procedures and project Safety Plans
- Support problem solving and site engineering when required
The Candidate - Achieved or be on track to achieve a 2:2 or above in Electrical and/or Electronic Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering or similar. Overhead line can also consider Mechanical Engineering students.
- The drive and self-motivation to achieve incorporated or chartered status and to continuously develop your technical & behavioural skills
- Ability to work, communicate effectively and report at all levels within multidisciplinary teams
- Ability to apply technical knowledge in analysing problems and creating innovative solutions
- Ability to work on your own initiative
- Flexible approach to work, and ability to prioritise and manage your time effectively
- Strong attention to detail and ability to make correct judgements
- Willingness to travel across the UK and occasionally abroad for placements, training, project meetings and Factory Acceptance Testing Attendance
- Willingness to be based at a location different to your contracted location for a period of up to 12 months within your two-year graduate scheme
- Contribute to the Siemens Zero Harm safety policy
What else do I need to know? During your two-year graduate scheme, you will spend roughly one year working within your home discipline from the roles above. You will also have the opportunity to undertake two six-month long placements in other disciplines in electrification or elsewhere within Siemens Mobility.
Depending on the placement, you may be working away from your contracted location for the length of these placements (funded by Siemens). In addition, you should be aware that there is a certain level of travel and staying away from home required for all roles.
For the duration of the graduate scheme, you will take part in technical and professional training, with technical training delivered by the top engineers in the business over the course of several weeks. During these training weeks you will also have a chance to meet and challenge other early career professionals across Siemens Mobility and discuss different experiences, building connections for your burgeoning career.
Expect to be given the freedom to test theories and designs, then to be challenged on them from the other members of the team. As Siemens is at the
forefront of new technology, you will be able to learn about, in detail, the technologies that Siemens are developing to disrupt the way that transport is thought about in the UK.
