Join a company that is passionately committed to the pursuit of a better world through positive change. With more than 65 years of business and technical expertise in mining, energy, and infrastructure, our 10,000 colleagues in 150 countries tirelessly work toward bettering the industries in which we operate. With practical solutions that are safe, innovative and sustainable, we think globally while acting locally. 

Join our Project Delivery Group (PDG), a dynamic team of professionals passionately committed to world-class project delivery across the globe. With expertise in sustainable studies, asset building and operations, and industry-leading efficiencies, our best-in-class team leverages methodologies, governance and systems that are unparalleled in the engineering space. Are you looking for an opportunity to join a diverse group of professionals who are committed to remaining exceptional? We look forward to hearing from you.

We are seeking a results-driven engineering professional with excellent written and verbal communication skills and the ability to work well in a team environment.  Candidates must be detail-oriented with excellent organizational skills, able to work on multiple projects simultaneously while meeting deadlines and maintaining a high level of quality, as well as the ability to work independently with minimal supervision. The successful candidate will be tasked with development of conceptual designs and contract documents sufficient to allow a qualified contractor to implement state-of-the-art communications networks for various clients, primarily transit agencies from around the world. International travel to client sites may be required. 

Our clients rely on us to help them procure new systems and assist their staff and contractors in ensuring rail and transit systems are built to specification and operate as intended, while minimizing our clients’ risk and optimizing costs based on their needs. Work will include establishing design criteria, writing specifications, developing conceptual designs, preparing cost estimates, reviewing contractors’ design and other data, and overseeing testing and commissioning/cut-over of the various communications networks, data centers, and systems. Communications systems and networks are used by operations departments to dispatch fleets, as well as by various safety, control, and ticketing systems. Systems in dedicated rights-of-way also support administrative networks. Work often takes place on an operating railroad or transit system in a so-called “brownfield” environment where planning, execution, and field validation are all critical activities the successful candidate will participate in.  Our engineers are key people in our clients’ organizations, bringing new services and systems on-line. Project management experience is highly desirable.
