HOW YOU CAN MAKE AN IMPACT

The Commissioning Support Technician is responsible for carrying out a wide range of commissioning activities, including functional testing from wiring verification (continuity, insulation, and voltage tests) to the static and dynamic commissioning of complete rail vehicles.

The role involves fault finding using software tools to diagnose and repair issues across electronic, electrical, and electromechanical systems such as doors, HVAC, traction equipment, passenger information systems, train protection systems, and vehicle control technologies.

Accurate logging of all test and measurement results is essential. The technician will prepare and accompany test runs both on-site and on the public rail network to support design validation and vehicle approval.

Operational support includes troubleshooting and warranty implementation at customer sites to ensure high vehicle availability.

The role also supports condition monitoring systems and manual inspections, software uploads and updates across subsystems, and ensures configuration control is maintained. The technician will respond to technical queries from colleagues and clients, provide feedback on incidents, and mentor team members to promote knowledge sharing.

Risk identification and mitigation within the scope of work is expected, alongside producing high-quality reports in maintenance systems and general documentation.

The technician will collaborate with managers and colleagues to improve systems and working practices, maintain health and safety standards, and manage environmental responsibilities. Task prioritisation is done in consultation with the Production Manager, using available equipment and work instructions.

Work is performed in line with safety procedures, with contributions to updating documentation as needed. Monitoring train performance and addressing recurring issues is key, with feedback provided to central teams.

The role also involves fostering effective cross team relationships and supporting any activity within the technician's capabilities.
