Every day, more than 80 000 colleagues lead the way to greener and smarter mobility worldwide, connecting cities as we reduce carbon and replace cars.

The REM project is located in Montreal, Canada and its operation and maintenance activities are spread across a 67km network with its maintenance facilities in Brossard and Saint-Eustache.

You are a member of the Ordre des Ingénieurs du Québec (OIQ) and have developed strong knowledge and skills in systems engineering requirements management within the railway or transportation sector. You also have relevant experience in vehicle maintenance (bogies, traction, air systems, and brakes). If so, you may be the ideal candidate for this position.

This position is based at the REM site in Brossard on Montreal’s South Shore (preferred location) or at the Saint-Eustache site on Montreal’s North Shore. It is a full-time permanent position (40 hours/week). The schedule is Monday to Friday, with a minimum of four days per week on-site. Occasional travel between project sites is required. Please note that to meet operational needs, availability for technical support outside regular working hours may occasionally be required.
