We're more than 85,000 people worldwide creating the industry's most diverse portfolio: high-speed trains, metros, trams, maintenance services and integrated systems.\nMore than a job: a mission\nLaunch your Engineering career through a 24-month rotational programme designed to develop you into a Control Engineer.\nOver four six-month rotations, you’ll work alongside multidisciplinary Engineering teams and contribute to real projects while building the technical breadth needed to understand how train control functions are specified, developed, integrated and verified. You’ll gain hands-on experience across systems engineering, software, verification and validation, reliability and safety before bringing that knowledge together in Control Engineering.\nYour journey will take you through four complementary rotations:\n1. Build your systems foundation\nStart in Systems Engineering, within either Train Control or Train System. You’ll learn how requirements, functional architecture, interfaces and system integration come together, building the system-level perspective needed to understand how train functions interact.\n2. Discover the software behind train control\nJoin either Software Development or Software Verification & Test, where you’ll gain practical exposure to the software lifecycle behind train control functions. Depending on your rotation, you’ll experience how software functions are developed or how they are verified and tested to demonstrate that they perform as intended.\n3. Broaden your engineering perspective\nContinue your journey in Certification & Validation, Reliability Performance, or Product Safety & Reliability. Depending on your pathway, you’ll discover how train functions and systems are validated, how their performance and reliability are assessed, or how safety and reliability considerations are integrated into Engineering.\n4. Bring it all together in Control Engineering\nYour final rotation will be within Control Engineering. Here, you’ll apply what you have learned throughout the programme and progressively contribute to vehicle control activities including functional and train-level requirements, control functions, system interfaces, integration, verification, configuration and engineering change management.\nBy the end of the programme, you’ll have developed an understanding of the train as an integrated control system and gained the practical Engineering experience needed to continue growing as a Control Engineer.\nYour role, your impact\nThroughout the programme, you’ll progressively take on greater responsibility and contribute to activities such as:\nContributing to the definition and management of Train Control requirements, functions, architecture and interfaces;\nDeveloping and maintaining Control Engineering deliverables in line with project requirements, applicable standards and QCD commitments;\nSupporting the design, integration, verification and validation of Train Control functions, including design reviews and train-level testing;\nManaging system interfaces, configuration and Engineering changes, including assessing their impact on functions, design and integration;\nSupporting the planning and coordination of Control Engineering activities, monitoring technical progress and helping resolve technical issues;\nCollaborating with multidisciplinary Engineering teams, suppliers and project stakeholders to support successful system integration and delivery.\nYou’ll work with committed Engineering teams solving complex challenges that shape the future of mobility. As part of the Engineering Rotational Programme, your contribution will help develop the trains that move people and connect communities.\nWhat you bring\nYou don’t need to arrive knowing everything about trains or Control Engineering. The programme is designed for you to learn. What matters is a strong Engineering foundation, curiosity and the motivation to understand how complex systems behave and how technology turns requirements into working train functions.\nYou bring:\nA recent degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or another relevant Engineering discipline;\nAn interest in control systems, systems engineering, software and complex multidisciplinary applications;\nCuriosity about how requirements, functions, software and interfaces come together to control a train;\nAn interest in system integration, verification and validation;\nAn interest in communication networks and interfaces such as serial communication, Ethernet and MVB;\nAn interest in model-based development and engineering tools such as MATLAB/Simulink or ControlBuild;\nStrong analytical and problem-solving skills;\nThe ability to communicate and collaborate effectively in a multidisciplinary environment;\nFluency in English and French;\nA growth mindset and motivation to continuously learn, ask questions and take on new challenges;\nCuriosity and enthusiasm for working across different Engineering disciplines;\nThe motivation to complete a structured four-rotation Engineering development programme.\nHow success is measured\nSteady progress through each rotation, with demonstrated technical and professional growth;\nQuality and accuracy in Engineering deliverables and documentation;\nIncreasing ability to understand the connections between requirements, functions, software, interfaces and train behaviour;\nPositive collaboration and contribution to a safe, inclusive and high-performing Engineering culture.\nAlstom, a great place to grow\nBuild your Engineering career through diverse, real-world train development experiences;\nGain exposure to innovative mobility projects and technical mentorship in Saint-Bruno;\nLearn from specialists across systems, software, control, validation, reliability and safety while developing your own Control Engineering expertise;\nContribute to Alstom’s mission to deliver greener, smarter and more connected transport solutions.\nHere, progress isn’t always easy. The scale is massive and the challenges are complex, but the impact is real. When the system works, the train moves and communities connect. That feeling stays with you. And the legacy lasts.\nLanguage\nKnowledge of a language other than French is an asset when dealing with our international partners, suppliers, colleagues and customers. In Quebec, French remains the main working language of our company.\nYou don’t need to be a train enthusiast to thrive with us. We guarantee that when you step onto one of our trains with your friends or family, you’ll be proud. If you’re up for the challenge, we’d love to hear from you!\nImportant to note\nAs a global business, we’re an equal-opportunity employer that celebrates diversity across the 63 countries we operate in. We’re committed to creating an inclusive workplace for everyone.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6874,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"French","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false},{"language":"English","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Transport Infrastructure","Rail Transport"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-10T22:00:41Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":20,"reasons":["conf:2","win:early","comp:junior,brand"],"computed_at":"2026-11-11T05:45:12Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/alstom-graduate-engineering-rotation-program-control-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/alstom-graduate-engineering-rotation-program-control-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-11T05:45:12Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":7721,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-12T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":445391},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=445391"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Falstom-graduate-engineering-rotation-program-control-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Falstom-graduate-engineering-rotation-program-control-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Falstom-graduate-engineering-rotation-program-control-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/alstom-graduate-engineering-rotation-program-control-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Falstom-graduate-engineering-rotation-program-control-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4040498}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"alstom.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4040498},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
