Your role, your impact

The Engineering Planner / Design Coordinator will be working on the Sector 1 North Project (based in Brisbane) which is an amazing opportunity to be part of a major ETCS Level 2 signalling project for Queensland. This will be on a 2 year fixed term contract. This role will be involved with the following responsibilities:

• Monitoring all Engineering activities for the S1N project in Australia
• Coordinate planning between the Aus and India production centre
• Integrate software development planning and the product development planning
• Maintain dashboards of progress per streams (Interlocking, ETCS, Lab development, Integration, System)
• Support contract management with detailed What if assessments for all variations coming our way
• Produce Deliverable register updates on a weekly basis for submission to the customer.

You’ll work with sharp, committed teams across Altom — solving complex challenges that shape the future of mobility.

What you bring

• A university degree in Engineering
• Advanced use of Excel for dashboard / montoring tool creation
• Several years of experience in planning of engineering activities
• Familiarity with progress dashboards and the ability to maintain and track action item lists to support project delivery and reporting
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to work collaboratively across multi‑disciplinary teams
• High attention to detail, strong time management, and a professional approach
• Commitment to EH&S performance and quality delivery
• Able to commit to this role for 24 months.

Here, progress isn’t always easy — the scale is massive, the tasks are complex — but the impact is real. Because when the system runs, the train moves, and the city connects — that feeling stays with you. And the legacy lasts.
