If you’re an experienced engineering leader with strong technical expertise, this is your opportunity to take on a senior role as Project Engineering Manager - Generic Application Softwarein Stockholm, Sweden.
You’ll lead a team responsible for delivering generic application software for trackside systems-from analysing and allocating customer requirements through software development, integration and verification to customer acceptance and authorization.
Working closely with the Project Manager, Subsystem Managers and teams across Engineering, you’ll have end-to-end technical accountability for the solution, including quality, cost, delivery and performance. These are complex, software-focused projects that require sound judgement, adaptability and the ability to translate contractual requirements into the right technical solution.
We'll look to you for:

Act as the technical voice of the customer within the project and take decisions on complex technical issues and changes.
Manage engineering quality, cost, delivery, performance, schedules, resources and risks, and provide clear monthly reporting.
Drive integration across subsystems and coordinate system-level activities through final project acceptance.
Establish effective interfaces with Project Management, System Owners, Procurement, Operations, Sales, Bids and other engineering functions.
Promote maintainability throughout the system lifecycle and continuously improve engineering processes, tools and ways of working.
Adapt the engineering approach to complex projects that cannot be delivered through a one-size-fits-all template.
