Job Summary
This is a key entry-level role for an Electrical Engineering graduate to qualify over approximately 30 months as a Rail Construction Supervisor (Bauüberwacher:in Bahn) for DB Engineering & Consulting. Based primarily in and around Erfurt, you will manage, coordinate, and supervise contractors and stakeholders on critical railway infrastructure projects, focusing specifically on electrical, control, and safety technology (LST).
